I feel like I have different ages of "me" inside my brain. One is 10 and the other is around 35. I'm far beyond those two ages but I like shifting back into their mindsets. I connect with them to write my children's books, especially 10-year-old me at summer camp!

What are the ages you live with?
Author interview with Rebecca Wood Barrett - Whistler Writers Festival
I still have a 10-year-old Becky inside me, and that kid wants me to write stories that are exciting, thoughtful, and have funny characters.

I'm totally psyched (remember that, 80's kids!) to be invited to give a presentation for @wordvancouver.bsky.social's classroom visits at Surrey Central Library, with my novel My Summer Camp Has Mega Sloths. I love getting the kids stoked about reading and adventuring! ✍️🐻🐾📗📕📘

Mega exciting! My Summer Camp Has Mega Sloths is on the CBC's "20 Canadian children's books to read this summer" list. 😎

Who else is amped to camp and read by flashlight?!?
