Two Book Tours
I had a fantastic week touring for The Canadian Children’s Book Week, organized by The Canadian Children’s Book Centre. I did both my STEM and my comics presentation, and the kiddos were great fun! I also enjoyed the book signing events at Livres Babar Books and Black Cat Books. How grateful am I am to have such a job…
And I’m currently on another meaningful book tour with Une école montréalaise pour tous. This work means so much to me because every student in my workshops receives a free copy of my second Groucho the Grouchy Groundhog graphic novel. For many children, this is their very first book to take home. This organization supports under-resourced schools where access to books isn’t always guaranteed, and I’m so grateful to be part of that mission. Seeing students light up when they hold their own book is unforgettable — and a powerful reminder of why stories and literacy matter so deeply
Free Beginner’s Webinar
Over the years, many people have told me they have an idea for a children’s book but aren’t know how to get started. That’s why I created a FREE webinar designed to help aspiring writers take those first steps with confidence. If you—or someone you know—may be interested, you can sign up here: bit.ly/LydiaWrites. I’ll also be offering more advanced webinars for children’s writers who already have some experience and are looking to take their craft to the next level. Stay tuned for details.
Groucho the Grouchy Groundhog
Pancakes, turnips, and evil bunnies, oh my! On April 28, the second book in the Groucho the Grouchy Groundhog series, The Terrifying Turnip Takeover, was released. It’s already just over two months old! I’ll host another giveaway soon.
