Just one More Book Podcast

I mentioned earlier, that I now have an agent - well, I would not have this good fortune if not for the Eastern Canada chapter of SCBWI. We had an Agents Day in Ottawa on October 4th, where we met Rebecca Sherman and Kendra Marcus - Both incredible women - and supporters of children's literature. Anyway, Kendra did my critique and Mark Blevis from www.justonemorebook.com interviewed us afterward. The podcast of this interview is going to be available tomorrow!

Buses and Pigeons.

Ok, so my three year old son, on our way to work this morning, recited as he was turning the pages, with all the same goofiness that I read it... Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, by Mo Willems. A personal hero of mine. And then he said... Lets read it a little LOUDER!!! You see, we've been singing Boom Chicka Boom on our drives these days - endless entertainment I'll tell you. I laughed all the way in. I am interested to see what he says on the way home...

I HAVE AN AGENT!!

I am SO very excited to announce that I now have a fantastic Agent - Kendra Marcus of BookStop Literary. HIP, HIP Hooray. I need to write this now, for when I wake up I need to make sure this is a fact.

Logo Design...

Here is a logo I did for a new daycare in the Oshawa area. This was a very fun job for some very nice people. As you can see it was really a stretch for me.

Since I am an advocate for good daycare, I was very excited to do this one. I am sure their centre will be a lovely place for children to spend their days.

I will post a link to their site when it is up!

In The Garden Premier!

My friend Jessi made this video of my first book reading of In the Garden.
Let me preface this by saying I got to read after the kids had played all morning and eaten cotton candy in a busy playroom just before nap time - so I think it went alright!

Happy anniversary to the Lennox and Addington Resources for Children Early Years Centre!
