Forest of Reading is Next Week!
It's happening next week folks!
The Ontario Library Association Forest of Reading celebration is coming to the Harbourfront centre in Toronto. It's been such an honour that my book, The Strange Gift of Gwendolyn Golden, has been a Red Maple 2015 nominee. I've met hundreds of readers at events and school talks, and I also travelled to Thunder Bay last week for the first of the four main celebrations.
So next week, May 12th, is the end of a full winter of reading for tens of thousands of Ontario kids who have read, enjoyed and voted on their favourite Canadian book in four categories: Blue Spruce (kids in k-grade 2), Silver Birch (grades 3-6), Red Maple (grades 7-8), and White Pine (grades 9-12).
The party starts at 10:00 at Harbourfront centre, and I'll be there, enjoying the fun for the third time. I'm so lucky, and so honoured. Wish Gwendolyn and I luck!
