Polly Horvath, winner of the 2013 Bolen Books Children’s Book Prize for One Year in Coal Harbour, will join us to talk about her writing career. Polly’s award-winning books, such as The Trolls, The Canning Season, and My One-Hundred Adventures, delight children with their quirky sense of humor, rich language and plucky heroines.
Also at this meeting:
A presentation of The Great Plastic Round-up, featuring The Cascadian Crusaders, a book by local authors Michelle Peters, Haemish Beaton, Alex Witcombe and Jarrett Krentzel, illustrations by Alex Witcombe. Learn about all the plastic in our oceans and what we can do about it. Book the Cascadian Crusaders to bring their program to your school.
