About the author

I was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the land of four distinct seasons. The winters are so long!

Wintry days and nights inspired me to read many, many books, the most important thing a writer can do. Of course other seasons inspired me, too! And as soon as I learned to hold a pencil I began writing poems, stories, and diaries.

I have always owned cats (or they have owned me, a cliché, but true!) Coincidentally, all our cats have been authors, and I’ve compiled their writing secrets in the essay “Why Cats Write.”

And I have always lived within walking distance of a library. (O.K. in California, within almost-walking, but driving distance!) I love to read and write, but I also love to talk--especially about writing.

[Angey Mahmoud · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun, information book. Children will delight in learning math and not even know it. It is simple enough for a 2nd or 3rd grader to understand. It is a perfect book for a child who doesn't like math or who finds it hard to understand. The story is about Hank and Frank who are planning a "Nice Day for a Party" party, so they've got to get plenty of treats for their guests. Then Hank gets a great idea: if they multiply guests times treats, they'll know exactly what to put on their shopping list.Great book for read aloud or read to partner.
