Hello! It’s been a while! Much time has passed with other necessities of life being dealt with. A new book, a really new book, is on the way. It is a little untimely for me, as either the book, or gardening (two of my big passions) have to stand in queue.

My wondering lately has been about ‘reverence’. I wonder if there is any left in our world – where secularism and the scientific analytical mind has bulldozed every awareness of the unseen world. Can humans find their human way devoid of guidance from the inner worlds?

Dec. 7, a lovely time, not just in sales but also connections, at the Nelson Waldorf School’s Christmas Fair, shared with my friend Jenn from Maplerose. Thank you so much!

Aside from the new book, Little Star, and the previous book, The Star Children, you can see my ‘merch’, mounted ready-to-hang illustrations from the book, and my newest, little star babies sleeping on clouds. (Although one is awake! These star babies turned out to be a popular item!)

Beautiful book reading event in Nelson yesterday at Maplerose’s pop-up anniversary sale, happily attended by children 4 years old to 10! It was commented that they had never heard a book that talked about such things. Said one, “I loved the book!”

Mounted illustrations were again available – children loved choosing one for their room. Thank you Jenn for such a lovely event!

Everything on website back in business so quickly! Thanks so much, Zeb!

Sorry everyone, but the PayPal buttons are not going through in accordance with what it says on my side of the website. Not only that, but every button says The Star Children, when it comes to me! I am assuming, though, that you are ordering Little Star.

If you are ordering in Canada, an e-transfer would be best until the problem is fixed.

Because everything costs so much more now, especially for a book printed in Canada rather than China! the new book would realistically cost $30+. I have put the basic cost of either book at $25, which is a more competetive price. Shipping is included at $28 in Canada, this is heavily subsidized by me. (Small businesses do not get a deal from Canada Post the way big businesses do.)

Thank you everyone!

I am so grateful for the synergy of us all – so many family members, old friends and new – coming together for such a loving and lovely book launch on Saturday. It was so inspiring! I think I forgot to ask someone to take photos, although a video was taken – some bits of it might be shown here soon! Below is a mockup of the table by the speaker (that would be me), so you can get the feeling. (Maybe someone did take a photo and might send it!

We had piano by Richard Burton upon coming in, and then we ended with a beautiful rendition of Martine’s violin – all our voices joining to sing Twinkle, twinkle. little star.

A new thing was illustrations I had mounted – ready to hang in a child’s room – which were very happily received. An example is in the photo. I will work on having some more available. The children loved choosing their favourite, and I think there are lots that can create a beautiful seasonal mood for a child. A lovely gift for a child or new baby.

Many thanks to generous book buyers – I don’t know how many – but I enjoyed signing many books! ❤️

Thrilled to announce the book has arrived, and just in time for the locally planned Happy Book Launch Party! If you need information about this write me through the contact page.

Upon reading the book, a young friend offered with a big smile, “Best children’s book I ever read!” (Aaww, thanks so much!”)

Looking forward to enjoying the book with you on Saturday!

After a lot of hard work, the website is mostly updated – I spent all afternoon on “The Meaning”, a feature I wanted to write about.

Somehow the contact page is not working, so sorry about that. And something is duplicated, but we are mostly there. Whew! I can’t believe how much work it is – just for the website!
