In celebration of #BUTTERFLYSEA, my hubby gifted me this 🦋 pin, which I think, looks good with everything!

A picture book about siblings and nature exploration, Butterfly Sea will be released in just a few weeks! Eeep!

Sharing sad news about the passing of our long-time, beloved #CWILLBC member and friend @normacharles.bsky.social. Norma was important and integral to the BC children’s book-writing community for many decades. Stay tuned: CWILL will be recognizing and remembering her in the coming months.

Ooh, I lead a kidlit professional society that is SCBWI-like (cwillbc.org) & would love to have you speak to our members! How do I reach you? (cwillbc@gmail.com for me if that's easier)

Good news! @CWILLBC is doing ALL THE THINGS at Word Vancouver this year🎉

Teachers, kids/teens/families, aspiring authors/illustrators, there's so much (free!) amazing programming, activities & more to check out, it's ridiculous:
