Ariadne’s Notes: It was a great pleasure to welcome the exceptional children’s author Brandee Bublé with new book Jayde the Jaybird again to our World Poetry Café Radio Show, November 12, 1:40 pm. Hosts Ariadne Sawyer and Neall Ryon, along with operator Victor Schwartzman were on hand to welcome her.
The book was read to a specially abled person who had been bullied that day and gave her the courage to deal with it. It shows the power of books. Jayde the Jaybird is beautifully illustrade by Eliska Liska, published by Simply Read Books and is available at most bookstores and would be a great gift.

Brandee Bublé grew up in Burnaby, BC, one of three children (Crystal and Michael) born to Amber and Lewis Bublé. Lewis was a salmon fisherman and as a child Brandee spent many a summer on the boat and playing on the commercial fishing docks. It was a unique childhood. At a young age Brandee was diagnosed with dyslexia, making reading and math challenging. She struggled to give correct change at a part time job and more than just a few customers paid less for what they bought or worse, paid more! It was this experience (amongst others) that led her to get a degree and work as an Educational Assistant for almost a decade. After marrying and having two children of her own, Brandee left her profession and began to write, a passion that finally culminated in her first book, O’Shae The Octopus, being published in June of 2014. Brandee, her husband and two children live in Coquitlam, BC, enjoy the company of their close extended family and when they can, spend their time boating in the inlets of British Columbia.
