October 7 (Tuesday): 9:30 ­10:15 am; or 10:30-11:15 am Author and storyteller Joan Marie Galat¹s fascination with astronomy led toher curiosity about the stories associated with the planets, constellationsand Moon. She wanted to teach her children about astronomy and mythology,but could not find the right book for the task. As a result, she created the'Dot to Dot in the Sky' astronomy series. She also writes info-fictionfantasy, combining storytelling with curriculum related science. Please seeher biography in the YABS database: http://www.yabs.ab.ca<http://www.yabs.ab.ca/>
