Visiting Author - Emil Sher
For the TD Canadian Children's Book Week, we were privileged to host visiting author, EMIL SHER, at our school. He presented two workshops on his book 'Away' (to the grade 1/2 and 2/3 classes) and his book 'Young Man With Camera' to the grade 7 class. Both were compelling presentations. We have these books in our library/learning commons collection, so please come and check them out!
