Check out TENDER TUESDAYS and FUN KIDLIT FRIDAYS!

MARY LAUDIEN is a fair weather sailor (better known as a cruiser). She has never taken a sailing lesson or a power squadron/VHF Radio Course, but thankfully, her husband, (who thinks he’s CAPTAIN) has! Unfortunately, Mary didn’t start sailing until her later 40’s and therefore, she missed out on the fun of taking her sons (as children) out on sailing vacations. But, she can tell anyone who will listen that she’s had many a humourous (if not scary) experience while sailing the Pacific NW on their Catalina, the TWOCAN. When Mary wrote, WHO’S the CAPTAIN? she visualized David Alavoine’s cartoons. Each time he’d draft a sketch and email it for collaboration and feedback, it was like opening a birthday gift; his cartoon interpretations the perfect match to the text. Be prepared to be entertained- young and old alike!
