Author: Joyce Sandilands
The 2-book Moonbeam Series is a delightfully unique set of fairy stories for young children written for and starring their own grandchildren. It all began as a collaboration between Joyce and her bestselling fiction author-husband,
J. Robert Whittle. Whittle's other books are the historical novel series, Lizzie Series and Victoria Chronicles of which three books are Canadian Bestsellers and one a Gold Medal IPPY winner.

"I thoroughly enjoyed your story! It is an absolutely charming tale of learning to believe in ourselves. Every kid who has ever tried to ride a bike can certainly relate to Shayla. I can't wait to see more of your books!"
