These are Edward’s first children’s books illustrations, much of his work is in watercolor. His mind dances between left-brain and right-brain, between art and science. It is not unusual to see him one day immersed in computer code, the next day preparing a talk, writing stand-up comedy, cartooning about a political/social issue, or painting en plein air. His dream is to “slow-travel” Canada to paint in every province and territory, from coast to coast to coast. Edward Wedler was born in Melbourne, Australia, and now resides in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This evening I got this text from my daughter Valerie:
“You should really tell Marshall that Neve has read his book each and every single day since you gave it to her in October. She probably has a hundred to choose from but that’s one of two that she wants to read every night.”
Marshall shared stories and videos of his life as a family man as well as a strong man. His message is positive and inspiring with a focus on setting goals and working towards the completion of the goals.
I would recommend Marshall as a guest author in a school setting. He brings with him wonderful stories and a positive message for all ages.
Hey Marshall. My son just got home from school and said he saw you today. Now he wants to see some vids of you when you used to pull trucks and do strong man stuff. He was totally amazed that I knew you LOL. I just wanted to say thank you for being a great inspiration to everyone and a fantastic role model. Take care my friend.
Marshall shared his first book, The World’s Strongest Dad” with classes at the Primary to grade five levels. The students and staff thoroughly enjoyed his presentation of the book as well as the discussion with the theme, “Strong in Body, Stronger in Mind.” The students were encouraged to interact during the discussion and to complete a follow-up drawing and writing activity.
Marshall gave our students the most interesting perspective, that combining the strength of the body and Strength of mind in developing a positive outlook on life. It is a message I am sure they will remember in years to come.

He has the incredible ability to create an atmosphere that is safe for children to tell their story and he leaves a message that stays with them for life. Any age, any setting, any focus, Marshall is the right choice for your group.
