Over the Moon

Dianna Bonder came to Gabriola with her husband to raise a family and continue a successful career as an illustrator and writer. Her art is beautifully whimsical and her books, written for young children, are a delight. Dianna is a 2008 recipient of the gold Moonbeam Children’s Book Award for her Alphabet book ‘Dogabet’. My granddaughters love her books!

Holiday craft fairs abound, this weekend the Surf Lodge hosted a wonderful assortment of vendors and twinned it with a booksale by the library which was quite impressive. Last weekend we attended the craft fair at the Community Hall and we are well into our holiday shopping.
