Got some amazing, great, wicked cool news yesterday. Art Slade, who won the Governor General's Award for Children's Literature for his novel, Dust in 2001, will be coming to FIMS on Monday October 23 to speak as part of the Lunch Bucket Speaker Series!
A few details have to be ironed out yet but the date is now confirmed. Yay!!!
In addition to being an excellent writer, Art is a great guy and very entertaining speaker. Whether you're interested in children's literature or not, you should plan to come out to this event. It'll be amazing.
