My two children's science books just published!

I can't find Alien Worlds or Living in Space, both for the Grade 6 level, on the Internet yet, but I am looking at copies.

They have just been published by Thomson Duval as part of the Reading for Real series.

On the whole, the illustrators did an excellent job and the editors stayed true to my concept.

But they turned my girl characters into guys!

WHY did they do that? Reasonable thoughts welcome!

Even so, I now qualify for membership in CANSCAIP!

Update: I found a link for the books. Now, if I could just get them to respond to my request to buy a few extra copies.
