How Sleep Found Tabitha

Overview

 

Cover 2It’s bedtime, but sleep will not come to Tabitha. The bed is cozy. The room is dark and quiet. Her favourite things surround her. She should be able to go to sleep, but something is missing. What can it be?

As she lies waiting, the animals call to her. Will the whale lull her to sleep? Can the eagle carry her to dreamland? Or the horse? The frog? The rabbit? Nothing seems to work.

And then sleep comes, as it often does, from an unexpected place.

She co-wrote her first book in 1988 with her aunt and mentor, children’s author, Jean Little, and since then much of her work has related to children and writing.

She writes for all ages, and gives dozens of author talks and workshops every year, in every setting imaginable, from elementary schools to prisons.
