Diane Dawber (1946- ) earned a Masters of Education degree from Queen's University and now writes near Kingston. Among her whimsically named children's books are "Oatmeal Mittens" (1987, Borealis), "How Do You Wrestle a Goldfish?" (1997, Borealis) and "My Cake's On Fire!" (2001, Borealis). She has also written anthologies, poetry and books for health-conscious adults -- having survived a disabling illness, she now does public lectures on dealing with pain and fatigue.

Looking for Snow Fleas is the ultimate poetry book for young people, parents, home schoolers and teachers. Fabulous poems about fabulous creatures are acompanied by hilarious snow flea circus illustrations. As a bonus, there are carefuly crafted questions and activities to connect the reader more deeply to the poems, themselves and their creative energies. "Nothing cooler than snow fleas!"

My Cake´s on Fire provides inspiration for discussing and celebrating special moments in life.

This is the third book of poems for younger readers from Diane and Pat.

Witty and practical informal presentation, including many happy illustrations by Pat Wilkinson, to help young people enjoy themselves and write poetry about everyday concerns.
