Bio
I am a Toronto doctor and the author of 16 books for children and adults.
I’m a huge fan of the simplicity and eloquence of picture books and have published "What About Me? When Brothers and Sisters Get Sick" (translated into Korean and Spanish); and "The Flyaway Blanket" (translated into Mandarin).
"CHILL: Discover The Cool and Creative Side of your Fridge" is for readers (and "artistes") of all ages.
Recent books include National Geographic Kids -Dream Journal and PEACOCK AND SKECTH (a book about fame and friendship).
Stay tuned for projects for older kids on nature, science, creativity and re-discovering nature.
As a boy, I would climb trees to read books.
I’d be delighted if my readers did the same. (Safely of course!)
Available For
Interviews, readings, book reviews and writing workshops.
