Writing for Children
… OF ALL AGES
Even though I’ve been performing for children since 1986, my song and fiction writing has mostly been for adults. I’ve written two stories for kids, and here they are:
The Old Elephant’s Christmas
For ages 5 to 10
Available on CD and DVD
.
Tiny Teresa Twiddle, Mr. Witherbee Whopperwill, and the Terrific Toenail Town
For ages 4 to 8
Winner of a 2004 Saskatchewan Writers Guild Literary Award
Lesley Choyce (juror): “A totally outrageous and offbeat story for kids with some very playful and imaginative elements.”
In search of a publisher!
Summary: The tale of a town where all the residents paint their toenails to celebrate the end of winter, a tradition begun because of a little girl who once got a terrible case of the “jibblegerms.”
