@lucky_budd @RHVickers @KelownaNow @EagleAerie @Harbour_Publish @zgcomms @mosaic_books @ReadLocalBC @bcyukonprizes What a great week that was! I was just reflecting on that visit as we begin our author week once again, welcoming @MarshaSkrypuch. Such a wonderful experience for us, our students and our community. So glad to have met you both!

I'd like to give thanks for a little throwback to this day in 2016. My good friend, teacher, mentor and collaborator @RHVickers and I got to share stories with 5600 students from 27 schools over the course of 5 days in Kelowna. This was an experience that still inspires!
