Such a pleasure to join @EricRWalters to talk with Lola Opatayo on her @journeyoftheartpod about ONE CAN (@GroundwoodBooks @_isabelle_malenfant_ )
We discussed the impact our book is having in understanding food insecurity. We talked about empathy, dignity, and hope.

Quill & Quire ❤️Canadian book industry’s must-read magazine said- in their 2025 fall preview of books they are most excited for- ONE CAN (@groundwoodbooks @ericwaltersauthor @_isabelle_malenfant_ ) is a “touching story of what it means to give and receive.”

A picture book is a tiny performance, and children stretched out in the grass is my favourite audience.
Point me to the children’s tent- I’ll take that stage any day!
❤️Lakefield Literary Festival and the Selwyn Public Library

The best kind of book attention is from @HelenKubiw and her CanlitForLittleCanadians upcoming releases!
I’m thrilled that ONE CAN (@GroundwoodBooks @EricRWalters @_isabelle_malenfant_ ) is a title she is looking forward to checking out!

SAVE THE DATE!
