Weeks Past, Present and Future
Ack! What happened to last week? Two out of three kids home sick…one PD day…tour details to attend to.
Tour?
Yes:
5 Cities
5 Days
11 Presentations
That will be next week for me. Canadian Children’s Book Week beginning November 14 will see me in Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton, Toronto, and London. This is this year’s poster.
I’m really looking forward to touring with Scot Ritchie as we talk to kids about our Grade 1 Giveaway Book. Hope everyone celebrates with a book or two–or seven (it’s a WEEK after all).
I’ll try to blog about it. But this means there’s technology to master this week, and maybe some other posts here on some other stuff I’ve been up to this year.
If you smell smoke, it’s not your neighbour burning leaves, it’s my brain.

Support for Just One More Book
This is a clip of a press release that came my way this morning:
Making Andrea a Breast Cancer Survivor
Posted: 07 Oct 2009 11:49 AM PDT
The Just One More Book!! children’s book podcast will be taking an indefinite hiatus so that Andrea and I can focus on making Andrea a Breast Cancer survivor. We received the results of Andrea?s biopsy, yesterday. This morning we met with a surgeon and discussed the treatment process.
The full press release can be seen here.
I’m thinking of Andrea and Mark and sending my support and best wishes their way for this challenging time. That sounds so lame but I do mean it sincerely. These two have so selflessly done so much for the love of books and for reading. Thank You! I’m urging the universe, the powers that be, the many varied creeds or spiritual belief systems, to give back to them now.

Book Week Website
The new website for this year’s Children’s Book Week is up!
It’s simply www.bookweek.ca and it’s a great resource of everything you want to know about it.
And since I wrote this year’s TD Grade One Giveaway book, rumour has it that I might be doing a bit of travelling too.
I’ll spill when there’s something to spill!
