Kootenay Teen Book Club

Monique Gray Smith event!

Tuesday, April 4th, 1:30-2:30pm on Zoom.

Partner with your local school (middle-grade/high school), home school network, and/or Aboriginal Educator Coordinators. Monique Gray Smith is a powerful speaker, and she will give a presentation on the contents of her new book, the YA edition of Braiding Sweetgrass.

The class/students wouldn’t have to read the book to attend the event, but we do have a book club set (25 books) that is available for classes to borrow.  It is a thick book, but it consists of many short, stand-alone chapters. I talked to one teacher who said it is a great book for reluctant readers as kids can dip their toe into the waters without getting to overwhelmed. Lots of charming illustrations too which helps.

To register for the event or to borrow the book club set, please email here: kootenayteenbookclub@gmail.com.
