Description
TOOT TOOT! It’s Theodore Too’s birthday, and all his friends are gathering for a party. There’s Macdonald Bridge, George Lighthouse, and Guy Seagull. Cruise Ship Gerta sailed all the way from Germany for the birthday celebrations. Then she went right to sleep. Now she’s taking a too-long nap!
Theodore Too and friends have to wake her up—or she’ll miss the party!
With his cheery red hat and big smile, beloved tugboat Theodore Too has captured the hearts of thousands of visitors to the Halifax waterfront. Now Theodore Too can come with you!
About the authors
Michelle is the author of several books for children, and she enjoys telling the stories of kids who seize life's opportunities. When growing up in Port Moody, British Columbia, her favourite spot was the library. She loved cracking open the cover of a novel, taking a deep breath, and jumping into another life.
At university, Michelle studied literature, and between courses, she helped dig a water pipeline in the Dominican Republic and flipped burgers for a summer at a McDonald's in Germany. After graduating, she cycled 6000 kilometres across Canada, became a travel writer, taught creative writing in the Arctic, and worked as a simulated patient for medical students to practice on. She also married the pen pal that she'd been writing to since she was fourteen years old, and together they traveled around his home country of Argentina.
Michelle began writing for kids because she's always loved reading children's books. These days, when she's not writing or going on adventures, she enjoys reading, swimming, baking, hiking, and pedaling her bicycle around Victoria, British Columbia, where she lives with her husband and daughter.
