Yippeee! TD Canadian Children's Book Week Tour 2009!

I'm thrilled to be part of the Canadian Children's Book Centre (CCBC) "TD Canadian Children's Book Week Tour" 2009, which takes place across the country from November 14-21.

There will be 29 authors, illustrators and storytellers on tour this year, and Ontario is my destination, so if you're interested in booking an author-illustrator visit, reading or signing, check out the CCBC site.

We are dedicated to encouraging, promoting and supporting the reading, writing, illustrating and publishing of Canadian books for young readers.

“TD Canadian Children's Book Week is the single most important national event celebrating Canadian children's books and the importance of reading. Every November, close to 35,000 children, teens and adults participate in activities held in every province and territory across the country. Hundreds of schools, public libraries, bookstores and community centres host events as part of this major literary festival.” (Retrieved from http://www.bookweek.ca/ on Aug. 31/09.)
