New blog! "Reading the Pictures," by @laurabontje.bsky.social on her #PB MARIAN'S BIG DIG, illus by @ritchiescot.bsky.social

"At a literary festival..., a very young child asked me a very good question: “Why doesn’t the picture on the front happen in the story?” #kidlit @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social

Hey, local friends! I'll be reading THE CLOUD THAT STUCK at Old's Cool (250 Westlake Ave, Toronto) on Sat, Oct 17 at 3 pm. Please join us!

Some clouds just won’t go away. But we can learn to live with stormy days. This timely picture book explores mental health, resilience, and change. #kidlit
