The Baby Experiment was launched at the Toronto Jewish Book Festival on Wed. June 6/12 at the Bram and Bluma Appel Salon at the Toronto Reference Library. A group of young actors dramatized several scenes from the book. These actors included (left to right) Shaina Silver-Baird, Tom Mifflin, and Sarah Brose. They did a wonderful job and brought my book to life!

I was part of the Awesome Authors team competing at the Kids’ Lit Quiz, Feb. 7/12 in Toronto. Coined the “sport of reading” by its founder, Wayne Mills of New Zealand, Kids’ Lit Quiz pitted teams of four readers against other teams to answer questions about literature geared towards children ages 10-14. My team members included (left to right) Gillian O’Reilly, Lena Coakley, Philippa Dowding, and me. We had a great time and learned a lot!
