SAVE THE DATE!

TOP 3 REASONS I AM EXCITED FOR THIS LAUNCH

I’m so proud of the book! I can’t wait to share ONE CAN with children in classrooms, in libraries and at home! Eric Walters and I wrote this story (Yes! THE Eric Walters!!) as a way to start age-appropriate conversations with young children about food insecurity. It has been a dream project from start to finish working with Eric, with the awesome team at Groundwood Books and with the incredible illustrator Isabelle Malenfant (creator of Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress).

It’s an opportunity to connect with community and give back! Children learn by example and September 7th will be a great example of community giving, as we collect food for Feed Halton. We’ll also gain insight into how we can access community resources, including Halton Food For Thought and Elemenoe Speech and ABA.

It’s a chance to celebrate! We are celebrating books for kids! We are celebrating community! And frankly, after the health challenges that were faced this year, Different Drummer’s Ian Elliot and I are ready to party and celebrate life! There’s gonna be face painting with Beebop the Clown! There’s gonna be singing with the awesome Sweet and Salty! And there’s gonna be story time (and a book signing!) with your’s truly!

I hope to see you on Sunday, September 7th!
