Anger is a powerful emotion. Everyone gets angry sometimes. Anger can sometimes be turned into positive action. Find out what you can do to understand anger and deal with it in healthy ways. Level 1 readers are aimed at children who are starting to recognize common words and are capable of sounding out unfamiliar words. Short, simple sentences help guide the reader through new concepts and ideas. This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
I am a writer living in Victoria where I alternate between writing and teaching. I love writing about kids in action, kids exploring their world, and kids solving problems for themselves. In "Shimmy" I got to combine two of the things I love the most: dancing and writing, and in At The Edge of the World, I explored how kids become adults. I like to set my books in places I have lived, so that I have an excuse to visit some of my favorite spots in the world.
