In 2018 LOVE, TRIANGLE was named a Bank Street College of Education’s Best Children's Book. And PENGUINAUT! was voted One Book Colorado for 2019! Celebrations were planned throughout Colorado and 75,000 copies of the book were distributed to every four-year-old in the state!

THE BEAR’S GARDEN, illustrated by Alison Oliver (Macmillan) was called “a well-illustrated, beautifully written tale of encouragement” by Kirkus and given a starred review.

SURVIVOR TREE, received a total of four starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly, the Horn Book, Booklist, and Kirkus and was also named a 2022 Notable Social Studies Trade Book from the National Council for Social Studies, a 2022 Children’s Choice book from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, a Bank Street College Best Book of 2022, a 2021 Best Nonfiction Picture Book by the Nerdy Book Club and was named a prestigious ALA 2022 Notable Book.

Marcie is an expert on creating highly acclaimed Teacher’s Guides that align picture books and middle grade novels with the Common Core and state mandated standards. She is a frequent presenter at conferences for the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, as well as a faculty member for the Writing Barn and the University of California San Diego Extension. Her educational work in children’s literature has been recognized by School Library Journal, Publisher’s Weekly, and the Children’s Book Council.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Education of English and Language Arts from Oswego State University and a master’s degree in Educational Theater from New York University.

In August 2021, Marcie joined Epic! Originals as a Senior Writer/Editor, creating comics and other prose for their digital platform. She is the lead writer on the TIME BUDDIES and KITTEN NINJA franchises, both which will have print books in 2024, published by Andrews McMeel.

Although she will always be a Brooklynite at heart, Marcie lives in San Diego, California with her husband—artist Jonathan Lopes—and their mischievous sock monkey.

I love the premise of this story. Orville wants to be able to do big things just like the other animals in the zoo. But no one believes he can reach his dream because he's so small. With determination and a great plan, he'll show them he can do it and in the process make closer friendships. I love the puns and word play in this story also. My kids find it so endearing and funny - a great combination!

Who couldn't love a little penguin with a big dream? Orville does not disappoint. This is a unique, sweet, and lively story that encourages individuality and at the same time demonstrates the importance of community. The illustrations are so entertaining and support the story well for young readers. All this and a penguin who strives to be an astronaut...what are you waiting for? Congratulations to the author and to Orville on a smash hit!

A holiday gift for my great-grandson. Premise demands kids suspend belief in reality as a zoo penguin wants to do everything by himself to go into space. Once there he realizes there is no one around to share his experience and he misses his friends. "Moral" is follow your dreams, but that interacting with others makes experiences (and life) better.
