Jeffrey and Sloth

Jeffrey can't think of a thing to write, so he doodles instead, only to have his doodle begin to order him about. Jeffrey struggles with the situation until he discovers that the most strong-willed doodle is powerless against a well-told tale. Jeffrey and Sloth is bound to have children rushing for their colored pencils and their pens to see who and what they can create. Kari-Lynn Winters loves shopping at garage sales and collecting other people's discarded photographs. She came to write Jeffrey and Sloth when a teacher said to her, "If you can't find anything to write about, then write about the moment of not having anything to write about." "And that," she says, "is what I did." Kari-Lynn is an educator, performer and writer who lives with her family in Vancouver, British Columbia. Ben Hodson has hiked through the Rocky Mountains with wild burros, fed a pair of baby tigers from a bottle and seen monkeys in South Africa come into his house and steal bananas off his table. A self-taught artist, Ben says that he often uses doodling to begin challenging projects. "Staring at a blank piece of paper and knowing that you have to be creative," he says, "is one of the hardest things I know." Ben lives in Ottawa, Ontario.Winters, Kari-Lynn is the author of 'Jeffrey and Sloth ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781551433233 and ISBN 1551433230.
