Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to us. Our website, products, and services are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13 years old. The website and its products are directed at parents of children who want to download free printable activities and be updated with news about the author-illustrator and her books. The website has child friendly content. However, if a child over 13 years old signs up to our newsletter, we require they have parental consent.

Information We Collect From Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not provide any personal information on this website. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our records.
