These are the talented creative
folk behind all our delightful children's books
 Angela
Kathryn Narth was born in Sudbury, Ontario, grew up in Gatineau,
Quebec, and now lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She is a recently retired
Public School Administrator whose career in education has spanned
all levels.
As a beginning teacher, Angela taught English to new Canadians.
Thereafter, she taught in the public school systems in Ontario,
British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba. Over the years, she has
held positions as Curriculum Consultant specializing in foreign
languages, and sessional lecturer in Educational Psychology at the
University of Manitoba.
Throughout the years Angela was encouraged by her mother to pursue
her interests in writing. The
Very Last Ladybug War is her second children's book in the SERA
BOOKS™ Collection. Her first book, Simon
With Two Left Feet published in 2000, became a best seller in
Winnipeg and marked the beginning of her new writing career.
This talented author explains why she wrote Simon
With Two Left Feet:
 "In
my many years of teaching, I have been saddened by the large number
of talented and capable children who limit themselves in their potential
because they have accepted the view others have of them."
Angela believes that reading is a gift which enables children to
experience a taste of the joys and sorrows that life holds.
