Happy birthday to my super-talented sister, Ruth!

My sister has illustrated over 40 books for children. Here is her most recent, The Couch Was A Castle, the fifth that she has written AND illustrated:

Check out the "A Ruth Ohi Picture Book" logo...is that cool or what?

You can order it from Amazon here.

Ruth was interviewed by the Toronto Star a couple years ago. (Click on image for bigger version)

My sister did the illustration on the Toronto Public Library children's membership card:

She's been featured on TVO's "Imprint" show:

...and This Is Daniel Cook:

She puts a ton of energy into her talks at schools:

...and public events like Word on the Street:

You can see all my sister's books on Amazon. You can find out more at RuthOhi.com, which I plan to revamp once I know more CSS! Here are 20 Things I Love About My Sister.

What still amazes me: that she manages to juggle a very active motherhood schedule (my nieces both have a ton of before AND afterschool activities) plus her own career. She works harder than anyone I know.

Check out this sample page from her calendar:

AND she still finds time to work out, cook dinner, have quality time with her family, talk with me when I need a listening ear. I feel incredibly lazy compared to her; she's always been an inspiration to me.

I have the coolest sister in the world.
