I’m happy to announce that I’ve been selected for Canadian Children’s Book Week 2023! From April 30 to May 6, 2023, I’ll be touring along with many other talented creators (25 authors, 6 illustrators, and 1 storyteller in total), sharing our love of reading with young people in schools, libraries, and homes across Canada. Here’s the full list of touring creators, including where each will be. I’ll be touring in person in Ontario, and I can’t wait!
Local book friends: Please save the date! You’re invited to an in-person book launch with Heather Camlot, Mireille Messier, and me. Please join us for readings and book sales by Mabel’s Fables Children’s Bookstore. Plus, we’re thrilled to announce that our nonfiction panel discussion will be moderated by award-winning author and editor Mary Beth Leatherdale.
Today on L.E. Carmichael‘s Cantastic Authorpalooza blog, I talk about my childhood love for science, which grew into my first nonfiction STEM book One Tiny Bubble, illustrated by Dawn Lo. I discuss:
how I saw my role as a translator of high-level scientific concepts into child-centred language and experiences.
how I used my fiction-writing skills to craft nonfiction.
how I helped to connect the child reader to the content.
September 21 is National Science Reading Day! Owlkids Books helped me make this video about why I love to read and write about science, including two book recommendations. What science books do you love to read?
Today on the Picture Books, Eh! blog, I chat with illustrator Dawn Lo about our upcoming nonfiction picture book One Tiny Bubble and reveal a sneak peak!
