This multilingual commentator and author has written travel books for children that introduce and promote Canadian cities and European countries. Told through the eyes of four animals, Mickey, Taggy, Puppo and Cica, each of which represents a part of the Canadian mosaic, the books educate children and adults about music, literature, pioneering and native peoples.
