ThereBԪַs something about that moment when you are a page into a book and you realize itBԪַs just the right fit.

ChildrenBԪַs author Troy WilsonBԪַs newest book is a classic spin on an old tale that centres on that feeling.

In Goldibooks and the Wee Bear, a fun adaptation of the classic Goldilocks, the cub is a literature-starved bookworm of a bear in search of just the right read.

ItBԪַs the eighth childrenBԪַs book for Wilson, a Saanich resident who had two books published back in the mid-2000s. He then went on a long stretch until he broke through - again - with The Duck Says in 2015.

READ ALSO:

Moreover, Goldibooks makes it two straight BԪַreading-themed fairy taleBԪַ books with Running Press Kids. The first was Little Red Reading Hood and the Misread Wolf in 2019. The two have different BԪַ and equally great BԪַ illustrators, Wilson said, about Edwardian Taylor with Goldibooks and Illaria Campana for Little Red Reading Hood.

BԪַWe all loved the previous illustratorBԪַs work, but the publisher wanted to go in a bit different direction. Little Red was totally finished (but not yet released) when I wrote Goldi.BԪַ

READ MORE:

Goldibooks was officially released on Jan. 12.

BԪַI donBԪַt know if there is a third reading-themed fairy tale in my future. But I do know that IBԪַll have a second book out this year. A picture book titled Hat Cat will be released in October,BԪַ Wilson said.

WilsonBԪַs previous works include Perfect Man from 2005, and more recently, the Sinking of Captain Otter and Dog versus Ultra Dog.
