Reviews / Votes
"Bright crisp colors and vitality in the illustrations combined seamlessly with engaging easy-to-read rhyme are all highlights of this science-based creation by entertainment duo Bobs & LoLo... The contents of Run Salmon Run are a good reason for it to be a valued addition in the primary curriculum areas of environmental studies, but it will make a fun gift book, too, perfect to read on a summer vacation by the sea.... Highly Recommended."-CM: Canadian Review of Materials (5 stars)
"Run Salmon Run makes learning fun as we 'begin at the end' and follow this amazing journey down the river, out to sea and back again. This book beautifully illustrates the wonders of nature. Engaging, playful and absolutely delightful."
-Kathy Beliveau, Author of The Yoga Game by the Sea and The Yoga Game in the Garden, listed in Best Books for Kids and Teens in Canada
"I am impressed with the Run Salmon Run book. It is a fun, informative book and the illustrations are lovely. It is a strong educational tool for young readers and shows the life cycle of the salmon.
-Joanne Day, Ecosystems Management Branch, Fisheries and Oceans Canada / Government of Canada

Bobs & LoLo are five-time JUNO Award nominated singer-songwriters as well as the creators and stars of two upbeat, musical preschool TV and VOD series, Sing, Dance and Play and Action Packed. Robyn Hardy (Bobs) and Lorraine Pond (LoLo) first met at a summer camp on Vancouver Island. Growing up together, they have always shared a love of the natural world and a passion for working with children. Creating Bobs & LoLo has allowed them to combine their diverse academic backgrounds with a mutual love of teaching and the creative arts. Alongside the adoration of the young and the young at heart, Bobs & LoLo have received critical acclaim from the likes of the Parents' Choice Foundation, Western Canadian Music Alliance, the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
Robyn (Bobs) is an enthusiastic and caring individual with a passion for conservation education. She holds a Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia and a Bachelor of Arts, Honors Degree in Linguistics from the University of Victoria. Her diverse academic background alongside a childhood filled with music and dance, lent itself perfectly in her transition from educator to entertainer. During her time away from the stage, she can often be found with her husband and two young children in the mountains or at the beach in North Vancouver, BC.
Lorraine (LoLo) is an energetic performer with a flare for creating connections between young audiences and the natural world. She completed her undergraduate degree with a specialization in Exercise Science from the School of Human Kinetics at the University of British Columbia. Following graduation, Lorraine accepted a position as an environmental educator with the Vancouver Aquarium, which sparked her interest in developing nature programs for young families. When she's not performing, Lorraine enjoys spending time with her busy family of five in Vancouver's beautiful parks and playgrounds.
Lori Joy Smith (Illustrator) credits weekly trips to the local children's library with her father for sparking an early love for reading and children's books. As a teenager she lived in Italy and visited some of the most beautiful museums in Europe, which left her wanting nothing more than to make art. Now she puts these two loves together everyday, working as an artist and illustrator.
Lori lives on PEI with her husband, 2 daughters and a growing menagerie of pets-3 cats, 2 bunnies, 1 dog and 2 sheep. She loves making art, walking in the forest, watching the stars, drinking coffee, growing flowers and most of all reading with her own girls.
