Melanie Watt's "Scaredy Squirrel"

The annual book fest (or feast) known as the Salon du Livre is on in Montreal. Most of the books are in French, but at least one of the authors you can visit today is perfectly bilingual - and so are her books.

Mélanie Watt writes and illustrates the very popular children's book series about a character named Scaredy Squirrel. He's also become a TV series.

This holiday season, Mélanie Watt has a new book out called Scaredy Squirrel Prepares for Christmas. Mélanie spoke with Sonali Karnick about Scaredy, as well as about Mélanie's more confident creation, Chester the cat.
