Inspiring...

"I don't want to be popular, because being popular means having to give up a part of who you are, and I'm not ready to do that."
- an 11 year old student of mine.

I wish I could have had her as a friend when I was 11, and trying to be popular.

Happy New Ears!

The One Frame of Fame Project has me all inspired for children's media stuff! It'd be great to see if we could get all the kids across Canada to partake in a project like this! Our whole nation, for a frame.

I applaud the artists, C-Mon & Kypski for being so innovative with this project. What a fantastic way to get your stuff out there!

Of course I partook. You should too!

Love this.

More of this, please.

Let's make more things fun.

Wet Pants.

It's been a crazy time lately, but I forgot to post about the fantastic fun that is Definitely Not The Opera's season opener show, all about "The Biggest Lesson You Didn't Learn In School."

I was a pants-pee-er in my youth. I'm mature enough to admit it. I figured it was time to tell the whole country about it.

Listen to my story about how I taught myself how to cover up my wet pants situation in a pinch. (It's about halfway through, but the rest of the podcast rocks so much you should listen to it all!)

Everything horrible and embarrassing eventually becomes a good story. Am I right!?

What television gets children up and moving?

Hey all!

Listen to CBC Radio One tonight at 7:30(8 in Newfoundland) to hear me read a story called "The Hobo" that I wrote as a conservatively-influenced Albertan child as part of the lovely Dan Misener's series, "Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids."

It's part of a show called "The Lab."

Or you can listen to it here.

It's just fun. The event is fun and so is this radio show.

Ecoute!
