Join siblings Amanda and Mitchell as they soar over Canada on Grandma’s magic quilt from the West to East Coast, and back again! Brother and sister share plenty of other fun tales of growing up together, here in Marjorie Cripp’s first book, Sibling Shenanigans.

After retiring from as a school librarian, Marjorie turned to writing and quilting. Sibling Shenanigans is her retirement project, even though the children in her stories are now teenagers. She’s grateful for her local writing circle with whom she’s shared her stories. Born in Saskatchewan, Marjorie has spent most of her adult life in Ontario, with grandchildren and family living close by.

When Val Lawton was a kid, her favourite books always had great pictures -- like Winnie-The-Pooh and The Twits. It was the books with simple, scratchy drawings that appealed to her the most. In addition to being a best-selling, award-winning children's book illustrator, Val also works as an artist-educator with the Learning Through the Arts program, which means she helps kids learn while creating art. Val lives in Calgary with her family and two beagles. Do Trees Sneeze? is her 30th book.
