About Me...

I love dogs, cats, birds, flowers, trees and old people. I love the sound of the rain and the smell of a camp fire. I love cartoons and movies that make you laugh. A good book that moves you. I love to draw and paint, with the music full blast. I love to garden, the warmth of the sun and a quiet still night. 

I love living in the Okanagan, the beauty of the mountains and the crystal blue waters. I love my four children, two boys and two girls.  I love being a children's author and artist.

If your still reading...

I grew up in Saskatchewan, that is home to me.

I went to University to become an Elementary teacher. Studied art, dance and drama. Married and moved to Alberta, where we raised our four children. I taught dance for years, and a youth  drama group. 

I created the Thumbuddie's to help young readers, find joy in reading, and not have to struggle, like I did.

Enjoy your kids, they are only young for such a short time. 

Take Care, God Bless, Cherie
