A cool, calm, serene thanks to Christina Barber for her review of EMERSON on The Miramichi Reader! #kidlitart #bcbooks #canadiankidsbooks

miramichireader.ca/2025/09/emer...

Balanced in her approach, Ngo has crafted a captivating story that incorporates some great facts about elephant seals and their needs. Emerson the Elephant Seal is a great read-aloud for pre-k to early elementary aged children that explores themes of initiation to habitat and animal conservation, geography, and ideas of what makes a home.

Get out, find a community, TALK to people face to face. A single comment on social media is not a real conversation and certainly doesn't define an entire career.

Just a funny idea for an imagined book cover. 😂 Maybe a middle grade book in the future?

I remember my grandpa had a mini shark at some point! Or maybe I was dreaming and it was just a really big fish...

I heard from some little birdy that today is NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS DAY 💕

Thought I'd share these funny idea sketches I had for a story I've been working on for a while.

I am kind of a local news nut, so this is a dee-light to see!

Mr. Keith Baldrey's bookshelf is the ultimate BC author's easter egg!!! ❤️ This man has made it a mission to support BC books even as he talks about federal funding for EV infrastructure. He is so cool.

Lots of new friends I've made have asked me how to pronounce my last name. What a thoughtful question!

My last name is a common word in Asia, particularly from Vietnam. Most English speakers have trouble, but that's okay.

Also, do you know who Barbara Walters and Arnold Palmer are? 😰

I did not anticipate how much I would LOVE my new little friends sending me back some Emerson postcards.

"I ate [too] much [salmon] rolls." 😍 Me too, girl. Me too.
