Friday night I spoke at Word In The West, a literacy event in Mountainview County, north of Calgary. I presented to a crowd of kids and parents, from babies to older elementary kids. It was a bit tricky, because of the number of younger kids. They’re adorable, and restless, and their questions tend to be “I have a bruise under my chin,” or “my dog threw up.”
We talked about what we’d like from a magic store – one wee one wanted a magic horse. The horse showed up in the story we made up, along with a dragon that needed to be rescued, but not brought into the human world because… well… dragon. I talked about writing and read from my stories, too.
On the way we stopped at a small wetlands filled with birds and madly croaking frogs.
