It's almost here! Waiting for a new book birthday reminds me of how excited I got about birthdays as a kid - not because of the presents but because of the cupcakes!

Salamander Rescue is my newest book and we're going to celebrate its launch on May 10 in Calgary. I'll talk a bit about Waterton's salamanders, read some of the book, and then we'll have cupcakes. You are welcome to join me at 7:00 pm at Owl's Nest Books, 815A - 49th Avenue SW, Calgary.

Salamander Rescue is an eco-adventure story about one of the smallest species in Waterton Lakes National Park: the long-toed salamander. When a new curb blocks the salamanders' migration route, Cricket and her friends jump into action once again to save a species in imminent danger using the tools they have at hand - lemonade and cement. The story is full of animal encounters - bears, horses, kittens, fawns, and of course, salamanders.

The Diary of Anne Frank has been studied for decades by millions of school children around the world. How well do you know Anne Frank? Test yourself with a new quiz I created from information in my new book for grade 3 - 5 students. This book is part of the Icons series published by Weigl Educational Books and contains many great photos of Anne and her family. You might find it in your school or public library!
