Charolette Player

A retired Principal turned children's book author, bringing Martha Cream Cheese to life!


Charolette Player is the author of the Martha Cream Cheese stories, a delightful series that celebrates imagination, problem-solving and persistence.

A lifelong advocate for literacy, Charolette was a writer for the Collections Reading Program for young elementary students and a past member of the International Reading Association of Edmonton.
