I loved many books but a few standouts would be The Giving Tree, The Velveteen Rabbit, and The Little Mermaid. What was your favorite book to read as a child? I have delighted in the fact that one of the world’s most beloved fictional stories came about in small part, because of a true story-a love story-between my veterinarian great-grandfather and his pet bear. I have been proudly sharing this remarkable story since I can remember and have always felt grateful to have it as part of our family history. What was it like growing up knowing about the real Winnie? For you, though, Winnie is part of your family history. Students will enjoy tracking Winnie’s adventures from the fields of Canada to an Army base in England, and finally to the London Zoo where Winnie meets a boy named Christopher Robin. Winnie-the-Pooh is beloved by children and adults the world over. Finding Winnie tells the true story of a remarkable bear named Winnipeg and the people who loved her. It was a very personal and moving journey to watch the story come to life in such a powerful way. I loved the process of watching the text come to life through my illustrator’s (Sophie Blackall) incredible illustrations. What did you enjoy most about writing Finding Winnie? I always imagined telling my own child this story one day and when I found out I was pregnant with my son Cole, that was the motivation I needed. The idea that a small gesture on the part of my great-grandfather would go on to have such a huge ripple effect is powerful. This story has inspired me ever since I was a kid.
