I'm a Canadian mother and grandmother with a passion for writing. I've been lucky enough to receive a number of awards in different genres including the Zoetrope short fiction award and the Moondance Film Festival award for an animated screenplay.

I'm a recipient of a Canada Council Grant for my efforts in the short story genre.

Years ago, I was the happy owner of a modest bookstore, where I spent endless hours reading on the slow days, (of which there were far too many) and writing my own stories on the other slow days!

I love to entertain children and I believe there is nothing so fine as a book that can make you smile.

I live with my husband and my dog, Rufus, in Ontario where we keep watch over a wetland conservation area.

Beautifully illustrated and lovely story!

This is such a sweet and heartwarming book with beautiful illustrations. It is perfect for little kids who are just learning the days of the week, and the rhyming makes it really fun to read out loud. The story is all about family time, which is always a good reminder for both kids and adults. The excitement building up to Sunday is so relatable, and it gives a nice sense of how special family time can be. It's a cute, feel-good book that is easy to enjoy, and I can see kids wanting to read it over and over again. Definitely a nice addition to any little one's bookshelf!

Sweet and Engaging Story

A sweet and engaging story for young readers with adorable, detailed illustrations. It teaches children to enjoy and be thankful for each day and to always be on their best behavior. Biblical aspects are tied into the story and emphasize the importance of Sundays being a very special day of rest, prayer, spending time with family, and counting your blessings. Recommended.

Cute read
A little boy cannot wait for Sunday to come. And he tells the readers what he does on the other days of the week as he waits for Sunday to come.
Lovely illustrations and cute read for older children.

I hope you won’t mind if I say, that Sunday is his favorite day

I liked this cute little book about a boy's weekly activities. He enjoys each day, but his favorite day is Sunday, which he looks forward to all week. I also liked the art.

Granddaughter loved it!

Such an easy joyful story to read. I loved how it incorporated things to do (helping out around the house) to get through the week with the goal of getting to enjoy Sunday together. I’ll say it again…. My granddaughter loved it!!

Awesome Book!

I enjoy this story. It's very well written. I like how it shows chores the main character did during the week that led to Sunday. This is a great read!
