New Children's Book Portfolio

In preparation for NY15SCBWI, I've built a new website for all my children's book projects. If you see me this weekend, please say hi and grab one of my origami pirate bookmarks. :)

:: NY14SCBWI ::

I'm off to my very first SCBWI Winter Conference!

Dear future SCBWI BFFs, please find me this weekend for your very own origami pirate bookmark. I'll happily walk you through this origami pirate girl model. Or if you're courageous, you can try to figure it all out on your own. For those that need a hint, there's a handy video tutorial below.

Just can't wait to meet you all. :)

cheers,
Hilary

:: TCAF 2013 ::

Hooray, I have been lucky enough to be accepted into Toronto Comic Arts Festival (aka TCAF) again this year!

In preparation, I have been busy punching buttons, re-ordering my picture books, hand-cutting bookmarks and even assembling a special mini book that collects my "Top 28 Picture Book Lego tributes". Check out the photos below.

TCAF is being held again at the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge St.) on May 11-12. This year I am on the main floor at table #122 right in the middle... just follow the ninja balloons!

Drop by, say hi and get a free origami pirate bookmark too!

Hope to see you there :)

:: The Pirate Girl's Treasure ::

WOW! This has been a long time coming! My brothers and I are launching our very first picture book together. Our book is entitled, The Pirate Girl's Treasure An Origami Adventure by Kids Can Press. We have lots of Pirate Origami Book Parties planned all around the GTA and here are the first two...

Our first event, Origami for Pirates takes place THIS Sunday at Silly Goose Kids. This super charming toy store is located in the east end of Toronto at 2054 Danforth Avenue. I'm pleased to announce that Superstar Riley Galloway (from our book trailer fame) will be presenting with The Brothers Leung! It is going to be a total blast!



For all our west end friends, we have our second book party over at Little Island Comics on Saturday April 14, 2012 from noon-3pm. Little Island Comics is the first kids comic book store in North America–maybe even the world - how cool is that?!

What can you expect from our book parties? Well, besides the interactive story telling, colouring pages and book signing, we will also be conducting an origami workshop. That's right, we'll provide paper and instructions for you to make some origami art! ...but wait, there's MORE!!!

We will also be giving away FREE Pirate Girl Bookmarks! These unique bookmarks not only help keep your page in your books, but after a couple folds it becomes your very own Origami Pirate Girl!



All our events are FREE and open to the public, so please come on down and join us for some Pirate Origami FUN!

Can't wait? Why not check out some of our YouTube videos like our Official Pirate Girl Book Trailer below.

Enjoy and hope to see you soon! Cheers!
