Sharla Griffiths, an author originally from Dauphin and alumni of Barker Elementary, MacKenzie Middle School and the DRCSS, is set to release her second children's book.
Six Saskatchewan Bunnies, her first book, was released in February 2019 and has been well received, posting a 4.5-star review on Amazon.
Onto to her next journey, Griffiths is gearing up to release 'Mark the Manitoba Moose.'
She shared her insight into writing another book,
"Mark the Manitoba Moose, is my second children's book that I've written, and it's about, as the title suggests, it's about Mark the Moose and he travels around Manitoba and visits a bunch of really cool places, and one of those places, of course, is Dauphin."
Griffiths says her inspiration for this book stems from her 2019 book,
"Two years ago, I wrote my first book called Six Saskatchewan Bunnies, and it was about Saskatchewan, the same idea, the bunnies travel around the province and see a bunch of different places. I just loved the idea of having a book like that, that's like about where we live. There's a lot of really neat things on the prairies that people don't really know about, and that book was really well received. A lot of people had a lot of good things to say about it, and that was really encouraging, so I always knew if I did another one, it would be about Manitoba, the same idea, just kind of sharing some of the cool things we have in the province."
Griffiths said she had a lot of fun working on this book, and now that's it's ready, she's filled with excitement to share it,
"I'm really excited to be able to share this book with the world; I look forward to hearing everybody's response's when they get to read it."
Sharla now lives in Saskatwhen, but a piece of her heart remains in Dauphin, as shown in the book.
Mark the Manitoba Moose is available for pre-order on her Esty page and available for shipping on Amazon starting November 1st.
