Reading

In continued support of the Kootenay Child and Health Development Center – Trina and I recently held another reading for the EK Homeschooling group. This was one of the first times the we got to read to school aged kids and it was fun to watch how differently they responded.  Miss Emily seems to appeal to 2 years of age all the way up to even 9 years of age – super exciting!!!

Once again I managed to stay behind the camera (he he 😉 ) but here are some shots from the reading>>>

Big thank-you to the EK homeschooling group – we so appreciated you having us!!!

Inspiration

Inspiration can come from anywhere but sometimes it comes directly from things closest to us – like our pets or our children! Our first book, Miss Emily Goes to Bat, has two young characters named, William and Thomas, who actually happen to be inspired by Trina Ayling’s  own boys.  I, Micheline, thought it would be fun to show some recent pics I took of the real William and Thomas and put those alongside the illustrated characters. It is great deriving these characters from life and I am excited about the secound Miss Emily book because in addition to William and Thomas, it will feature my two kidlets, Hannah and Hunter. 🙂

Our First Reading!

We had our first reading & colouring time at the Kimberley Public Library this past Tuesday and despite Trina and I both showing up sick – it turned out great! The kids came in costumes because it was the week before Halloween – I could have photographed every one of them – they were so cute!!!

Thanks so much to the staff at the Kimberley Public Library – you were all so helpful and immensely kind! Great Warmth and gratitude to you!

Here are some shots of the reading. (Notice I managed to stay behind the camera and out of the pics – he he 😉 )
