I am married with 4 children and currently live in Victoria, B.C.. I love travelling and I love kids, specially my own. Our family trips are my inspiration as they are some of the best memories of my life. The time spent together gives us a wonderful family bond and the education my kids have from their trips is invaluable. Having travelled the world fairly extensively, I started to write in order to share with children how amazing our world is and how important it is to look after it and appreciate what we have. I have had so many people over the years tell me that they did not want to go to a certain place because of a fear of something.... ex. "I would never go to Australia because it is full of snakes and spiders". Yes, Australia does have snakes and spiders, but in the 5 years I lived in Australia I saw one snake and never encountered a poisonous spider. Driving in L.A. is kind of crazy, in my opinion, but do people not go to L.A. because it has cars? I want to encourage kids to not live in fear of the unknown. We miss out on so much in life if we live in fear. Our world is incredible.....explore, appreciate, and care for it and each other.I hope my books will inspire you and bring you enjoyment.Sincerely,Jane

Chapter One

In Which PJ Falls Out Of a Bag and Into a Puddle

THUMP. PJ fell from the bag, hit the ground with an Ouch, rolled for a bit, and ended up in a puddle with an Oh dear me, what happened?

PJ looked around and sighed in despair. Nothing but puddles!

Oh dear, oh my, I think I have been lost, thought PJ. And just when I was so happy to finally be going home from the store. It really was quite comfy riding in the little girl's bag.

It doesn't look like she is coming back, PJ thought as he watched her feet disappear into the distance. Oh dear, dear me. Whatever am I to do?

Oh help, please help! PJ cried, but no one seemed to hear.

Oh fiddlesticks, I do believe it is going to rain some more. PJ lay dismally under the bench getting very, very wet.

He watched all the feet rush home out
