Welcome

Kara writes children's books that celebrate the joys of childhood.  Her first book was released May 28, 2019 and made Amazon's #1 New Release in Children's Dance Books that first week.

  "Everybody Can Dance!"   

shows children of all cultures experiencing the joy of dance together. Children with disabilities tap a beat alongside others swinging to ballroom or bouncing to Bollywood. The fun, rhyming text will have your kids begging for a repeat performance and will get you all up and dancing. This book can be a springboard for discussing how much we are all the same, how dance is fun for everyone, and how everybody can do it!
