About Me

Hi there! I'm Alana and I'm a former public school teacher, author and illustrator. I taught all grade from early childhood to high school in various subjects.

​

I've always loved books and reading from a very young age. I loved reading to my own children when they were little and to students at school. I I also love to make books and draw and color illustrations. I know that sometimes reading with young children can be challenging. If there are any struggles in your Storytimes I hope this course will help you so that you will love to read to your children too.
