Juvenile fiction novels by Angela Dorsey – stories full of heart, adventure, the love of horses, and now and then, a touch of magic. Angela has had over 3 million novels for adventure-loving girls translated and published around the world. Two of her series and additional novels will be available.
Various art offerings by Collective Members – handmade journals, art cards, and paintings, plus garden art by guest artist Elaine Miller, the recent winner of the Children’s Choice award at the 2014 Sooke Fine Arts Show. She’ll be demonstrating painting techniques and some art projects for kids.
