Violet the Pilot in Canada is the first in the series of
children’s book series written by commercial pilot and
mother of two, Bettina Bathe. In this book, Grandpa Cliff
along with young Chantel and Mathias are going on a
camping and fishing trip in Ontario, Canada.

Violet the pilot and her trusty animal and insect friends are
hired to take the three tourists to their destination in her
violet-colored floatplane. Violet teaches her passengers
about the floatplane, takes them through initial flight
procedures and delivers the tourists safely to their
destination. For Violet, safety always comes first as she
instructs the tourists how to exit the plane, protect
themselves against the damaging sun reflected off the
water and more.

Beautifully illustrated scenery with Canadian wildlife tucked
into the images here and there will allow for more interest in
the pictures. The illustrator, Barbara Fortin, creates an
excellent depiction of rural Ontario’s well-known “Cottage
Country” area.

Violet the Pilot in Canada offers more than entertainment
and education. The author has also dedicated a portion of
the sales of this book to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Additionally, Bettina’s website (www.violetthepilot.com)
offers contests and awards for young readers.
