Great news, SMD! Eric Walters, one of Canada’s most recognized and celebrated children and young adult authors, is coming to our school on the morning of Friday, May 17 and presenting to the primary and junior classes! Eric’s novels have won more than 100 awards, including eleven separate children’s choice awards. He is the only three-time winner of both the Ontario Library Association Silver Birch and four-time winner of the Red Maple Award, in which over 250,000 students participate and vote for the winner. Most recently, his novel entitled “The King of Jam Sandwiches” won the 2020 Governor General’s Literary Prize for young people’s literature. Mr. Walters will be bringing several books with him for purchase. They will be $15.00 each. Please keep in mind that he will not be able to bring all of his books; and in the event that he does not have the book that your child wishes to purchase, his books may be purchased online.
