Congratulations to our President & CEO, Starr Dobson, as she releases her second Children's Book, Gertrude at the Beach!
Everyone’s favourite goat, Gertrude Allawishes, is back!
School’s out for the summer, and Starr and her family – even Gertrude – are heading to their cottage. Starr’s mom is worried Gertrude will get into trouble, but it isn’t long before Gertrude proves she is one loyal goat and saves the day.
A portion of the author’s royalties from Gertrude at the Beach will be donated directly to the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia.
