Educated as an Aboriginal Child Development Practitioner and Early Childhood Educator, Brenda E. Koch has worked and volunteered with children for over thirty years.
For most of her life, Brenda’s mother (who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when Brenda was just a little girl) lived in a hospital. During their many visits, Brenda found herself becoming increasingly aware of how people with disabilities are viewed by others. That awareness was the inspiration for this series of books for young children, delving into this sensitive and important subject.
Let’s Go! is the second book in the series, following Let’s Play!, which introduced readers to the concept of people living with disabilities, while celebrating the many ways people are unique, diverse, and the same all at once.
Currently living in Welland, Ontario, Brenda enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
She can often be found swimming at the YMCA and biking with her dog Kilo.
