When box turtles box,
They bob
They duck
They crouch
They weave
They jab
They feint.
But still,
Prizefighters they ain't.

Schools and libraries often ask me to give presentations about writing and illustrating children's books. When I flew to Edmonton for a school visit, fog made my flight two and a half hours late! Still, I had fun talking to the students and teachers. Victoria School of the Arts looks like an amazing place to go to school. Thanks to Karen J. for setting it up!
