I’ll be staffing the MW Book Publishing table at Sunnycrest Mall  in Gibsons, BC on Nov. 16 and Nov. 17. They’re the publishers of Gracie’s Got a Secret.

Come out and see the new “Let go and go with the flow” Gracie stickers, and sets of fair-trade finger puppets (a fish, elephant, and alligator) available for sale. I’ll be available for signing copies of the book.

As part of the Sunshine Coast Artisan Craft Fair, I’ll be at the mall from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Lots of artists and craftspeople will be sharing their creations. Come out and see what’s new. Support local authors.

Gracie featured on Spiritual Teachers website

You’ll find Gracie in great company on the Spiritual Teachers website. The book Gracie’s Got a Secret
appears alongside popular thought-provoking favourites like Zen Shorts and Zen Ties by Jon Muth, and Moody Cow Meditates by Kerry Lee MacLean.

The books on this site seem to lean towards eastern spirituality, which is where I find my inspiration. But these books can help children in any family look at their life differently and “be” in it more effectively. As the site says: “just trying to teach a few life lessons and perhaps help the kiddos retain a bit of the openness they were born with.”

Gracie hits Gibsons, BC with two Heathers

. . .with Gracie, Mopey, and Heather Evans-Cullen

Had lots of fun with Gracie last Saturday (Feb. 9, 2013). About a dozen kids showed up with a parent or grandparent at Gibsons Public Library to hear me read Gracie’s Got a Secret. Children’s librarian Heather Evans-Cullen helped with the puppeteering and she made a great Mopey and Nellie.

I love reading to multi-generational audiences!

Afterwards, Heather invited the children to create their own fish, using construction paper, sparkles, feathers, and more. Many thanks to the dad who took these photos for me on my iPhone.

Gracie at Gibsons Public Library Feb. 9

Gracie and I will be hosting a free reading at Gibsons Public Library on Saturday, Feb. 9. Join us and children’s librarian Heather Evans-Cullen in Gibsons, BC for a fun time of songs, activities, and more. Suitable for children aged two and up.

Copies of Gracie’s Got a Secret will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
