EDMONTON, AB | A nurse and author of the Healthy-Wellthy-Wise series for children, Dawn has over 150,000 books on the shelves of elementary school classrooms across Canada.

Her latest book, A Thousand Twinkly Stars, addresses the impacts of a virus in a sweetly philosophical way and softly shines a light on loved ones lost through the global pandemic. The inevitability of seasonal changes underpins this poignant look at nature's purpose in death, the beauty of new beginnings, and the constancy of love.
