Meet our Fabulous Author Beppie
| Q: First tell us something about yourself? I’m a JUNO nominated children’s musician from Edmonton, Alberta. I’m a mom of three and I’ve been teaching music for over 21 years. Q: How and when did your journey start as a writer? I released my very first book ‘Dino-mite!’ In September of 2021. The book is based off of a song that was released on my 4th full length album which is also called ‘Dino-mite!’. Q: When did you write your first story? Is it published or not? I have written stories before that also have music to go along with them. My first one was called ‘Cooking with Dad’ and that one was written along with my first album back in 2015. I used pictures of my son Elliot in the story and I used it in my preschool music classes and with my kids at home. Dino-mite! was my first ever published book. Q: Tell us something more about your books? Every story I write has music to go along with it. I just love using stories that you can sing. I feel like when I sing a story to children, I can engage with them on a deeper level and really grab their full attention. I will often make up melodies to books that didn’t originally have melodies. Q: Why do you choose kids as your reader ? is there any specific reason? Writing a children’s book just came naturally. It was like my music evolved into it and it just sort of happened. I absolutely love that the characters I created for a song are now alive on the pages of a book. It’s like my art can now be experienced in multiple ways. Because my music is geared towards children and families, it just made sense that my book would do the same. The book itself was intended to take my music and make it more accessible to my audiences. Q: How did these stories and characters come to your mind? The two main characters of my book are dinosaurs named Larry and Joe. They came to life a few years ago when I released a song called ‘Larry & Joe’. Dino-mite! Is the sequel to that song and it follows the two friends on a hilarious journey through dance and music. Q: Do you want to leave any message for your readers? Being afraid shouldn’t be the thing that stops you from following your dreams. I was so scared to release my book but I did it anyways. Now my book has won an award and I’ve been able to share it with people all over the world! Look fear straight in the face and ROAR! |

Meet Our Fabulous Author Bernisha Fleurinor
Q: First tell us something about yourself?
My name is Bernisha and I love all things that promote love, unity, compassion, education, healing, and entertainment to all those in need. My life embodies the concept of the “beauty that empowers change”. The beauty of art, information, ideas, happiness, love, strength, weaknesses, education, reading, music, application, learning, and really anything you could think of, because there is a lesson in everything we do, everything we experience, and everything we encounter, and that lesson will always be ESSENTIAL.
Q: How and when did your journey start as a writer?
I have always enjoyed writing since I was a child. And since I was young, I believed that words were powerful. And with these words, you can create, inspire, influence, advocate and do so much with them. And because of this, writing is something I knew I would always implement in my life.
Q: When did you write your first story? Is it published or not?
I wrote my first story when I was 8. And no, I did not publish it. But the first published story I have written was done this year and I have the pleasure of sharing it with you all. It’s called Manners Taught Me.
Q: Tell us something more about your books?
The book Manners Taught Me is developed to illuminate the idea that showing kindness works anytime, anywhere, through actions and words. And these concepts are expressed through our story in words, poem, and music.
Q: Why do you choose kids as your reader? is there any specific reason?
Children are the future and establishing a solid foundation where they can learn, create, express themselves, understand and practice proper social, personal and professional behavior is imperative for our future leaders, teachers, heroes, and creators!
Q: How did these stories and characters come to your mind?
Currently, we’re living in a society where we must be aware of what we say and do. I wanted to create a book where children can understand, imagine and practice how kind behavior can help alleviate the pressure of wanting to bully, be selfish, disrespectful, and do anything that isn’t good to others.
Q: Do you want to leave any message for your readers?
