Love, laughter, humour, fun-no matter what age you are, these are great companions. The Sleepover has all these ingredients. This is a story about the wonderful relationships that exist between grandchildren and grandparents, bonds that last forever.

Grandma and Grandpa enjoy time with their grandchildren, but often Grandpa misbehaves, much to the delight of the children. This visit is no exception. Grandma looks forward to a happy but quiet sleepover with the grandchildren, but Grandpa has other ideas. Sleep is not his idea of fun, so Grandpa makes sure that the sleep is over before it has even begun.

A funny, fun, action-filled adventure that grandparents and grandchildren will immediately identify with and enjoy reading together.

I wanted to write about the wonderful relationships that exist between the different generations and show how important these bonds are to everyone involved. Also, another reason this book is so important to me is that these children are so young and chances are they won’t remember, at least not in detail, this wonderful time we had together, so by writing this book, I have saved this wonderful memory for my grandchildren to enjoy in future years. They can read it when they are older and love it because it is about them. It’s a little bit of their history.
Love, Laughter, Humour, Fun. No matter what age you are, these are great companions. This is my legacy to them.

For the kids, the colourful illustrations will appeal to them. The book encourages participation in the story. Children love repetition and there are phrases that are repeated several times and the children will instinctively know ahead of time, when that phrase is ready to be read. There is action that is greatly exaggerated which they will immediately join in and do - the snoring , tooting, howling, the making of the claw. Grandpa misbehaves many times in the story and the children will delight in giving him “The Look” along with grandma.

For the grandparents, there are parts of the story where they will easily identify with the characters. For example, When the children are told it is bed time, they insist that they are not tired, Grandpa says he is tired and Grandma states, “I’m exhausted.” I can see all grandparents especially the grandmas fully understanding that feeling after having spent a very busy day entertaining little ones. And I am sure there are many grandpas out there who misbehave to the delight of the grandkids and to the despair of the grandma.

Release and Remember

(Second article in the Purging series)

They say humans are the only species that collects things. Which is true—have you ever seen a squirrel display its acorn collection on a little wooden rack? No, because squirrels have priorities.

What is it about human beings that makes us want to collect? Seashells, Beanie Babies, spoons, bobbleheads—whatever it is, we can’t just have one. No, one is an ac

Quotes by Lynda J Pilon (?)

“Immediately, there were three more voices shouting, “The Claw. The Claw.” Three children were bouncing up and down on the bed and six little hands were held up in the air.”

“But all was not quiet. Andrew howled. Claire did the claw, and Griffin tooted and snored. They were too hyper to go to sleep now.”

“The day went by very quickly. There was so much to do. Grandpa took them on a hayride. They played in the sandbox and rode their bikes. They made cupcakes with Grandma.
Bedtime came faster than Claire, Andrew, or Griffin wanted.”
