Brown Bears

Walker Books, May 2024

Spring has arrived in Alaska, and a brown bear is waking up. She was alone when she fell asleep at the start of winter: now she is climbing out of her den with two new cubs. Follow them as they discover how to survive in the wilderness, from climbing trees to catching salmon, as their mother teaches the cubs how to be bears.

From zoologist Dr Nick Crumpton and with stunning art from Colleen Larmour, this is a gentle and fascinating introduction to brown bears.

Our Green City

Kids Can Press, Spring 2022

Winner of a 2022 Blueberry Changemaker Award.

Honor book in the 2023 Green Earth Book Awards.

Reviews:

Pictures brim with examples of a community focused on renewable energy, from a charging station to a clothesline; a green roof to solar panels and wind turbines. Families might well envy the thriving “green classroom,” the playground with tree-spanning bridges, and community garden. The kid-friendly text for each double-page spread ends with a question, inviting enhanced interaction with the pictures.

Exemplifying urban diversity and ecological harmony, this city will garner return visits from green-keen readers. Kirkus
