It’s Here!!

Book Birthday!

Happy Book Birthday to All the Water on Earth, available in stores now!!

In honour of its arrival, I wanted to take a moment to share my thanks and gratitude. My words may tell the story, but behind the story are a gaggle of wonderful humans that helped bring this book to life.

Much gratitude to the entire team at KCP - Naseem Hrab, who gave me the chance to reimagine One Well: The Story of Water on Earth for younger readers. You trusted me to try something new and play with something beloved, and for that, I am so grateful. Kathleen Keenan - thank you for believing in All the Water on Earth and so thoughtfully guiding it through each and every stage. And Marie Bartholomew, thank you for weaving the words and illustrations together so beautifully, creating the perfect flow for a biook about water!  Huge thanks to Mary Beth Leatherdale - you helped me find my voice, trust my instincts, and play with language and words in new ways. Your encouragement shaped not just this book, but my growth as an author. And of course thank you to Madelyne Goodnight - your illustrations touched my heart. I teared up at the very first black-and-white thumbnail sketches…and then again seeing the final colour art. You brought so much warmth and magic into each page.

Of course love to my family and friends, without your support, none of this is possible.

I hope you can join us at All the Water on Earth’s book launch celebration at Mabel’s Fables on Tuesday June 23rd from 6:30:8:30 - everyone is welcome!

And today I challenge you to think about this…what will you do for WATER?
