It is such an honour to have my picture book, Adrift at Sea included in an exhibition in Bologna, Italy on the occasion of Pope Francis’ planned visit to the city. The themes of the 200 chosen books include Peace, Work, School, and Migrants.
The exhibit catalogue can be downloaded here.
The books have been arranged on tree-like structures. Adrift at Sea has been included on the tree about Migrants. Here are photos of the exhibit:
A surprise snow storm didn’t keep people away from coming to the Station Cafe on Dec 6th. We had a packed house!
Tuan came with his entire family and we all autographed the books that were sold that night. Proceeds of the event were donated to the Brant Anglican Churches Support for Syrian Refugees. Sweets were provided by the Brant Anglican Churches refugee committee. The Family Literacy Committee of Brant, Kids Can Fly and the St. George Girl Guides hosted the event. Many thanks to Mike Tutt and the Station Cafe for the great venue.
Here I am with the amazing Sharon Brooks of Kids Can Fly. Sharon was the master organizer of the launch. Sharon is dedicated to improving the lives of the kids of Brant (she has my vote for being a woman selected for Canadian currency!)
