About the Book

My Grandma Doesn't Wear A Helmet was written as a tribute to the writer's mother, Roz, who passed away accidentally in 2001. She was the most amazing, loving and giving person who instilled in her grandchildren a zest for life! This story is based on her many and wonderful adventures with her granddaughter. The warmth and closeness of the relationship between the two of them is felt on every page and in each illustration. The story is told from the granddaughter's perspective and relates, in a most touching manner, the importance of always wearing your helmet; whether biking, rollerblading, motorcycling or even climbing.

About the Author

This is Shoshanna (Shawnie) Anisman's first foray into the writing world. She works full-time and is the single mother of two fantastic teenagers. She was inspired to tell this story so that others would be aware of the importance of wearing a helmet, at any age, while biking. In a split second her family's life was changed forever because there are no formal helmet laws in Quebec, Canada. She is not a political activist or lobbyist and chose to get this important message out to the world in a much softer and perhaps a more effective manner.
