The Brothers Of The Wolf

On the shelf September, 2014 "In this ancient northwest coast world Moon is lazy and only wakes up when he wants. The book is about two brothers of the wolf who are separated by a fishing accident. One stays in the sea and one is returned to land. Howling in the dark, looking for each other, they wake up the full moon. Although the brothers find happiness in their new chosen worlds, they miss each other. Promising to howl when they get lonely, they consequently wake the full moon each month." As an added value to school teachers and parents, there is a glossary for the NW Coast Supernatural Creatures and Pacific NW sea life!

"May 22, 2013 Hi Caroll, On behalf of all the staff and students of Pope John Paul lll School in Kenora, Ontario, thank you so much for coming all the way here to spend the day with us.

Come again! Shauna De Gagne PJP Librarian Kenora ON"

Mask Making & Drama Workshops in Kenora, ON

I just got some wonderful pictures from Pope John Paul School in Kenora,ON. I held a Mask Making Workshop for 91 students and a Drama Workshop for 20 actors in which they performed for their school. The students worked hard and were stupendous! Their teacher, Ms. DeGagne was phenomenal!!
I was looking forward with great trepidation the day on my calendar marked 7 flights. Much to my pleasure the day went off without a hitch! Leaving Pickle Lake via Wasaya Airways at 7:45, the 14 passenger prop Beech Craft was fully loaded. It was a sunny day and the iced lakes in the massive view above were glistening with the promise of spring. Flying northeast for a few hundred miles we landed in Landsdown House on what looked like a dirt landing strip. Then, we carried on to Webequie even farther north. Once in the air the plane flipped a Uie, banking hard to port, we tested the seatbelts. Our new heading was due south. We stopped in Summer Beaver and Fort Hope. And finally after hundreds of miles in both directions we landed in Thunderbay. I had a delightful experience visiting with the children that afternoon. Amazing how wonderful it felt to be a live ;-) Shot back to the airport to catch another plane this time with Bearskin… I heard someone refer to it as ‘Scare-skin.’ Heading northwest we landed in Sioux Lookout. This must be a hub. I had landed there before. Arriving in Red Lake, my ears were ringing. I had experienced most and the best flights ever.
