Dear Ms. McTavish and Mrs. Nunn,
I learned that you write about what you love namely the mountains.
I learned a lot about wolves... I like your books and keep up the good work.
Mabye you could make a really good book and become rich like J.K Rowlings.
PS I liked how you put your child in the book. |

About Writing for Kids
Based in Canmore, we are a children's books publisher focusing
on mountain environments.
Our mandate is to publish educational books for children that reflect the
true spirit of the mountains. |
|
It is our hope that in the creative telling of
these stories (based on fact), we will engage
the imagination and curiosity of children and encourage an
appreciation of
the beauty, joy, danger, fun and
surprises that are found in the mountains.
We are also deeply committed to
increasing environmental knowledge of children living in and visiting the mountains
through the presentation of factual information in a fun and light-hearted
way.

Spreading
Our Environmental Message
We are aware that knowledge fosters
understanding, empathy and love. It is our wish to
instill in children a love and respect
for the
mountains, and thus, a desire to protect and preserve this precious environment.

Alberta & BC through book readings and talks about our unique mountain
