Oksanna writes in several genres for kids—hopefully with humour and heart. Her first chapter book is Katie Crumble and the Case of the Missing Underwear, published in 2025 by Plumleaf Press. Coming soon is the second book in the Katie Series--Katie Crumble and the Case of the Terrible Naughty. Fitzhenry and Whiteside is to publish Tom Thomson’s Paintbrush, an informational text about one of Canada’s greatest painters in 2027. She co-wrote and illustrated the picture book, Pirate Glitterbeard, with her daughter, Larissa. Oksanna has also churned out over 30 early readers—the Super Hammy series—for the education market. She taught kindergarten and was an early literacy specialist for 25 years. Before that, Oksanna worked at radio stations in Saskatchewan and Toronto as a newscaster and reporter. She lives in Kincardine, Ontario in a blue house by a big lake.
