The teacher brings her dog into class every week and a doggie love-in begins. The grade 2 class is studying animals, with a specialty in our canine companions--how do they interact with us and with other animals? The photo scenes and story fragments the children have created and written explore this question, from the 6 and 7 year old point of view!

I have a long history as an independent filmmaker and an even earlier history as a still photographer. More recently I've become an author. In 2007 I purchased a lavish dollhouse and my daughter and I collaborated to write two childrens' books about it, with lots of photographs ("The Maples on the Move" and "The Maples Mix 'em Up"). In 2011, I wrote and photographed my first alphabet book, "Cats Choosing Chairs" and made another two alphabet books with my grade 2/3 class, who loved the process! Check 'em all out in my bookstore. Towards the end of the school year, my class did a comparison/
contrast of our school today with that of the late nineteenth century. It's called, "The Good Old Days?"
