So nice to be in person again!
It was a pleasure speaking with 5th grade students and younger about my picture books Enough and Silver Threads, about those who flee from war and about the situation in Ukraine right now. Thank you for the great questions!
Thirty years ago when being an author seemed like an unattainable dream, I had a second seemingly unattainable dream: that Michael Martchenko would illustrate a book that I wrote. As it turned out, he became the illustrator for my very first book, Silver Threads. He also illustrated the book that made me a princess, Enough. I saw Michael tonight at a Scholastic Canada do and asked my friend Natalie Hyde to take this pic. The last time we had our pic taken was 17 years ago when Enough was launched.
