Members of a classical orchestra chase a very fast baby across the stage. The baby is having a grand time, everyone else is not.
Welp! Looks like Come Bach Back Baby (from Starfish Bay Publishing, written by Evonne Francis and illustrated by yours truly) has unfortunately had its release date be a bit delayed.

They say you are not supposed to read your book reviews. I mean, not every book appeals to every person, right? But these two recent reviews of BUTTERFLY SEA 🦋 have me feeling so grateful. Knowing there’s a family reading it every night fills my heart up. 🥹 🥹 #yyj #CanKidLit #books #reviews #kidlit

A young scuba diver is surprised by a school of very, very, very LARGE fish.
An orange cat in a sailor outfit looks through a spyglass as the paper boat he's on sinks. He looks rather worried about it!
An orchestra stage is being slowly set up from panel to panel. Musicians are tuning up and talking amongst themselves, only to be surprised when a musician with a baby stroller rolls onstage.
A rather terrified crocodile clutches his tail as he is menaced by dozens of ominously shadowy creatures with glowing green eyes.

Illustration of girl in shorts holding a notebook in front of a lying down dog, against a backdrop of city buildings.
Love how this early middle grade novel, THE ANXIOUS EXILE OF SARA SALT” shows how writing letters helps one girl make a difference to others and herself. A great read aloud for a junior classroom! 📚👍🏻 #cankidlit #kidlit #edusky #ireadcanadian @orcabook.bsky.social
