Each spring, the people of Summerville gather to prevent the dreaded Murkles from entering their village. Unfortunately, this year there are more of the strange, smelly creatures than ever. When Juliana allows one little Murkle to waddle into town, she witnesses something truly amazing. She now knows exactly what to do, but will the mayor listen?

This intriguing story tells of a young girl who helps the townspeople understand that their Murkle problem - and others that soon follow - are actually blessings in disguise. Mary Gregg Byrne's playful illustrations add whimsy to Heidi Schmidt's imaginative tale of good things that arrive in unusual packages.

About the Author

"I think being a writer picks you and much as you pick it," Heidi says. "The writers seed sprouted when I had the best story in grade three. It really grew when I placed first in a poetry contest."

Heidi wrote Too Many Murkles as a tribute to "making your journey, singing your song, and growing under the sun. By being (When we are) flexible and willing to examine different points of view, life flows much more smoothly."

Holding degrees in both music and education, Heidi lives in Kanata, Ontario with her daughter, Kira Noelle.
