Welcome!

Check out details of my newest book, Hoogie in the Middle, published by Pajama Press and with illustrations by Dean Griffiths. (Read what reviewers are saying about Hoogie HERE!)

“This picture book is a terrific example of words and images doing their own job. The text gives us movement (as Pumpkin skips and Tweezle toddles), melody (as Hoogie whispers, “Too big. Too small. No room for me at all”), and, most of all, metaphor (“Sometimes Hoogie feels like the hole in the middle of a donut.”) – Sarah Ellis (Quill & Quire Featured Review)

Coming May 1, 2013!

Now instore!

I am the author of two award winning picture books (The Chicken Cat and Leon’s Song).
Besides writing children’s books, I review books by other children’s authors both through my own mail order children’s book company Neverending Stories and, for the past 12 years, my monthly column with Today’s Parent Magazine.
I’ve also written for children’s television, and love to do school presentations.
You can find out about all of this and more throughout this site by either navigating the tabs above or clicking on any of the photo icons below. Enjoy!
“McLellan is a fine storyteller, combining a matter-of-fact narrative style – life’s imperfections are fixed with a clear-eyed gaze – with elegant flourishes in turns of phrase and twists of plot.”
