Really grateful for the chance to connect and share my books at our local community center this afternoon!
Wow!
What a nice surprise to have teacher-librarian and author Edy Graziani feature Freddie the Flyer at the 2 minute mark!
"It highlights the beauty of the North and the power of dreams." Yes!

Four year old: What's that flower pin?
Me: it's a poppy for Remembrance Day.
Four year old: What's Rememb-ance Day?
Me: a time to remember that fighting hurts us and we should work to be kind and peaceful.
Lest we forget.
Happy National Inuit day to my amazing friends living in the North and all over! In particular, quana to Cathy Aitaok and Jorgan for their kindness and patience, and quyanainni to Audrea Wulf, the incredibly talented illustrator for Freddie the Flyer.

Pretty wild that, amidst a concerning rise of residential school denialism, this news passed by with little coverage. To ensure this work isn't ignored, here's a 🧵on why this announcement by the Williams Lake First Nation is important and how it can challenge denialism:

I love everything this author writes, always so full of fully-realized characters, honest love stories, messy families, mental health challenges and, often, physical health ones too.
Just read this and really appreciated the snappy voice, the deep vulnerability, facing toxic family dynamics and showing adult children dealing with estrangement, and fat shaming in society. Oh and @OliviaDade does for Fanfic what Ali Hazelwood does for STEM. Great read!
