I Love Kids’ Books
- I have the privilege of being a teacher-librarian in 2 elementary schools. That means I have the best of all worlds; I teach and work with children from Kindergarten through grade 8; my job encompasses the management of the libraries as well as developing the collections. And my homework? Reading and more reading! What more could a life-long bookworm ask for? The point of this blog is mainly for my own use- to make myself some notes about some of the many books I read- to prompt my failing memory, to use as the basis for book-talks or newsletter inserts and to provide information for others that may be interested. These will not be formal or lengthy- but just some of my thoughts.

Hello Jane
I am Hiawyn, author of BEING IMPOSSIBLE, for which you have given such a fun and energising review. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I so appreciate it. Where are you based? I’m getting the feeling the USA, but help me on this.
Best regards

I would like to introduce you to my new children’s self-esteem building adventure fiction books, Malia and Teacup : Awesome African Adventure, age 9 and up, and the younger version Malia and Teacup: Out on a Limb for ages 6-9.
I am a licensed mental health counselor and I believe self-esteem is the root problem for children. When I was communicating with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, I was so distressed when they told me that Stranger Danger does not work. The majority of abductions and molestations are by someone the child already knows. I wrote the books to help empower kids and I would love to have you review them and help get the word out to keep kids safe.
Kids will love the http://www.maliaandteacup.com
web site and the T-shirts, totes, mouse pads and hats, too
Thank you so much.
Best wishes,

I love the look of these books- they have very appealing covers and sounds like a great theme. I will look for them to read and review, assuming their availability at my local book store. Thanks for the information.
Hello Jane,
I was wondering if you would consider reviewing my new science fiction, adventure novel “The Minution Chronicles – Saving Zinitheron” written for middle
grade readers. Please feel free to check out my blog at
The Minution Chronicles – Saving Zinitheron
If you are interested, I will gladly send you a copy to review.

Jane, love your blog. You are very insightful and enjoy reading your comments. I always check to see if you have read the books that I’m reading and what your opinion is on them. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Ann. I appreciate the feedback very much!
Hi Jane,
I’m pleased to read your review of So Mor. Rukhsana Khan was a Storyteller at the Saskatoon Public Library a while ago and is a writer I like to keep up with.
