It’s all theatre all the time this week — @vancouverfringe.com on Thursday, @bardonthebeach.bsky.social yesterday, and back to the fringe tonight!

Highlights from day four of Canadian Children’s Book Week, which I’ve been spending in Kamloops with some amazing kids, teachers, teacher-librarians, and library assistants.

(Did you know that Kamloops has a summer book bus that goes park to park like an ice cream truck and gives away free books?)

A busy first two days of Canadian Children’s Book Week in Kamloops. In the last 48 hours, I’ve been to two public libraries and three school libraries, given six presentations, and met more than 200 kids! (Plus several marmots.)

Coby thinks this book should have more dogs. But personally, I am thrilled with my advance copy of THE CITY OF LOST CATS! 🐈

So nice to connect with Vancouver friend @hollythelibrarian.bsky.social and lots of new OLA friends today to talk climate and wellbeing in children’s books!

It was a huge honour to have BOMPA’S INSECT EXPEDITION (written with David Suzuki, illustrated by Qin Leng) shortlisted for the @laneandersonaward.bsky.social.

What a fun chance to celebrate science writing with some fabulous book folk! @karenkrossing.bsky.social @kidsbookcentre.bsky.social

I’m in Toronto this week, and headed tonight to the Lane Anderson Awards for science writing. Join me to celebrate some amazing books!
