Tribute
Everyone at Ronsdale Press was saddened to learn of the passing of Norma Charles. Norma worked closely with the founder of Ronsdale Press, the late Ronald Hatch, on her award-winning books. Ronsdale Press published five books by Norma including, most recently, an audiobook of Tree Musketeers.
She was a well loved and respected member of the children’s writing community and will be greatly missed. Although Norma has passed away, her writing will continue to captivate and inspire children and young adults for years to come.
