For young readers and the young at heart.

Camilla Thompson is an author, educator, and creative wellness specialist. Introducing herself as a “Wishworker” to children in classrooms and communities across Canada, Camilla mixes dynamic storytelling with important mindset messages that inspire them to make ambitious wishes and work to make them come true.

Her first children’s book, Skating Late, is a fast-paced adventure tale starring a fast fox who faces all kinds of Canadian conundrums after they wake up late and have to skate to school on an icy and blustery day. This raucous read-aloud celebrates Canadian winter sports and showcases our wholly wintry weather, following our wily fox through a series of challenges that lead to a hilarious punchline twist ending.

Her newest release, Nova Scotia Bummer, introduces a little badger with a big personality who visits Nova Scotia for the first time. Excited for a summer of fun on Canada’s Ocean Playground, Badger arrives on our sandy shores only to be met with one disaster after another and determines that Nova Scotia is a BUMMER, vowing never to return! This foot-stomping tantrum of a tale leaves listeners, both big and little, rollicking in laughter and relating to Badger’s bad day at the beach.

As a skilled storyteller and impassioned educator, Camilla’s goal is to make her listeners laugh so hard that they barely realize that they are learning. As a Wishworker, her wish is to inspire others to make big wishes and work to make them come true.
