Today, my tour with the Kootenay Library Federation officially began! Over the next few months I will be visiting seven different libraries across the Kootenay region of BC, thanks to the KLF and the amazing organization of Helen Graham.
My first stop was Midway where I got to meet with over a hundred enthusiatic grade four and five students who just completed the Reading Link Challenge.
Congratulations to all the participants and thank you to all the students who attended my talk – you were a terrific audience!

My Authors for Earth Day visit has been booked!
I will be visiting with grade two and three students from Maclean Elementary School at the Rossland Public Library on Wednesday, April 17th. One hundred percent of my $250 visit fee will be donated to a non-profit environmental organization of THEIR choice. Yes, that’s right – the students will be learning about the organizations and voting for their favourite. I am currently trying to select the nominees. It’s much harder than I thought it would be… there are so many people out there doing so many amazing things for the planet.

I had a great time at the Kincardine Library in Ontario on August 28th. My thanks to children’s librarian Carolyn McKeeman for hosting my book reading, to Liz Dadson for her excellent write up in the Kincardine Times, and to Judi Brown for sponsoring the radio advertisements. I’ve never heard my name on the radio while shopping with my mom and sister – what a treat!

On August 14th at 2:30 I will be a guest author at the Trail Library as part of the “Strange… But True” summer reading program. As part of the theme, “Trick or Truth” I will be reading a chapter from Trouble in the Trees and organizing a game of You Can’t Do That Bingo! If you can’t be at the library, check out this online Fact or Fiction quiz. There’s lot of other great stuff on their website too, so be prepared to spend some time there!
