About
"Children are the only future we have.
Love them, protect them and cherish them. They are miracles, each and every one"
I live in a small town west of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I have had a very rewarding and fun-filled career working in Children's Services in public and school libraries, as well as, teaching reluctant readers. Being involved with children and children's literature has been a wonderful journey of learning. You will often find me sitting on the floor in the children's area of a library or bookstore absorbing the magic. My own collection of children's literature is a constant source of delight I share with students and my eleven grandchildren.
