"Like geese flying over on an autumn day, the planes came to the small Canadian town of Gander." Gander, Gambo, Appleton, Lewisporte, Newton & other communities gave shelter & hope to stranded passengers. Neighbours helping neighbours. #canadian #kindnessmatters #neighbours #newfoundland #kidlit

I didn’t understand my daughter’s love of #Jellycats , until I found my bunny friend last week. An author bunny I’m calling Beatrix. Isn’t she the cutest? She will sit beside me in my office when the renovation is done. #writerscommunity

We can’t wait for you to join the road trip with Summer of Rocks, which was inspired by Jenna Greene’s own family road trips with her geologist father. Award-winning author @jeanmills.bsky.social calls Summer of Rocks “humorous and heartfelt” as it “perfectly captures the voices of three sisters.”
