In Person at Word Vancouver

September 16, 2023 at Robson Square

Join me along with other local authors and illustrators at Word Vancouver, a FREE festival to celebrate books! It’s a great opportunity to connect with real, live, local creators. Not only can you discover local hidden gems but you can also feel good about supporting local talent.

I will be at the Books of the Pandemic table from 10-11 AM at the UBC building in Robson Square, presenting Spookie and Tecka, two books from my Simply Small Series that were released during the early days of the pandemic.

And, I’ll have free Simply Small craft kits and free colouring pages to give out while quantities last!
