Wink in the Rain – new story for children

leave a comment »

My new children’s book, Wink in the Rain, is now live on Amazon.ca. This is a story about Wink the elf and his search for an umbrella so he won’t get wet in the rain. In the book, you will meet Wink’s friends: a little girl and a red-backed salamander named Ribbon.

Wink in the Rain teaches children the value of:

  • perseverance (never giving up),
  • friendship (valuing friends),
  • innovation (finding new uses for things).

~

You can find this book at Amazon.ca here. After April 15 it will be at Westminster Books in Fredericton and at Dog Eared Books in Oromocto. I will also sell them at the Moncton Regional Book Fair on April 22, 2023 at the Riverview Lions Community Centre.

All my Best,

Jane

I will be there with all my books:

Meniscus Science Fiction,

award-winning poetry

and, for the first time,

a children’s book!

Wink in the Rain is about an elf who lives at the edge of a garden.

Wink loves the garden but he does not like the rain.

Visit with Wink and his friends as he finds a way to keep his wings dry.

I often include black and white drawings in my books

but the drawings for Wink in the Rain needed lots of colour.

I used GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) to draw Wink, the plants in the garden,

the raindrops and Wink’s friend, the red-backed salamander.

I will be showing Wink in the Rain for the first time at the Greater Moncton Independent Book Fair.
