READY FOR A WILD, IMAGINATIVE RIDE??? Tune in to the weekly Kindness Kangaroo Factory Library (Author Sandra Wilson FB page) on Friday, November 20th at 10:30 a.m. EST when Sandra Wilson (also known as Kindness Kangaroo) will be reading my picture book HIGH IN THE SKY. Follow a young energetic child’s wild imaginative adventures - all while riding on a tire swing. A daring astronaut that blasts into space, riding a roller coaster, surfing a rolling wave - the p...ossibilities are endless! And Kindness Kangaroo always has a fun, follow-up craft activity planned for her listeners. In case you miss the event, Friday Feature live readings are posted on Author Sandra Wilson FB page and on YouTube. Hope to see you there! Ask for HIGH IN THE SKY at your library or purchase your own copy from my website www.skippingstonepress.net, local indie bookshops, or Amazon.ca. #picturebooks #kindnesskangaroo #childrensbook #livereading #storytimeonline #highinthesky #imagination #tireswing

EXCITED AND HONOURED to not only have my book THE WISH CARVERS reviewed by the talented Denver Author/Blogger Amanda Silva but also to be a featured author on her impressive website The Book Badger LLC Blog. Amanda writes: This book reminds me of something that my parents might have read to me as a child. It’s sweet and simple with a lesson about appreciating what you have. It’s a truly classic fairy tale story, and I highly recommend it. It’s a story suitable for any... age...The detailed illustrations by Sari Richter really bring the story to life and filter magic onto every page. To catch the rest of this great review and also the Q&A interview, go to www.thebookbadger.com/thewishcarvers. The Wish Carvers is available from my website at www.skippingstonepress.net, Barnes & Noble, select indie bookstores, and Amazon worldwide. #fairytale #booksforkids #bookreview #childrensauthor #thebookbadger #begrateful
