It’s been a whirlwind since the book release! My favorite part has been getting photos from readers with my book from all over Canada and the US – especially from kids. I love hearing about their favorite animals in the book, too: so far the owl is quite popular, followed closely by the dog! (note to self: prepare some talking points about dogs in river ecosystems for school visits!)
In light of all the book joy and silliness, here are some bloopers and behind-the-scenes moments from the launch preparation:
Had a moment with Goose after I fell, getting into position
Loon and I reflecting on the deeper meaning of things
Apparently Fish was unrecognizable from this angle… What would you have guessed it was, without context?
Beaver’s not so sure about me
Behind the scenes: When I was getting ready for the photoshoot with the stuffed animals I thought it would be fun to try to make a snowman with Heron.
Unfortunately, that day the snow wasn’t of the packing variety.
Moose did not care what kind of snow it was. He just wanted to get outside. 
I’m excited to get outside too, especially now that the snow is melting. Like Ben in THIS IS THE BOAT THAT BEN BUILT, I look forward to getting out in my boat (it’s a kayak)! What are you looking forward to?
