Bøger af Pat Skene

Pat Lamondin Skene is a proud citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario. Born on the shores of the Magnetawan River in Britt, Ontario, her indigeneity has always been part of who she is: a Métis descendant of the Solomon and Berger-Beaudoin family lines, with deep roots in the fur trade; a woman who achieved success in the corporate world and left it behind to find fulfilment elsewhere; a mother of a beloved daughter and now a grandmother; an award-winning author of eight books for children; and a devoted wife who accepted her husband's wish to participate in MAID. Pat lives and works in Oakville, Ontario. Swiftly Flowing Waters was written on the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, whom Pat gratefully acknowledges in her writing.

"His red fur was matted and worn out...almost. But he smelled like sunshine and warm buttered toast." This delightfully illustrated picture book is about the bond that Tilly feels for her beloved stuffed mouse, Wowwy. Tilly is worried because Wowwy is becoming more raggedy and dirty with each passing day. There's even a chunk of fur out of his ear. What can Tilly possibly do to stop Wowwy from falling apart at the seams? This uplifting rhyming story is sure to become a favourite with any child.
