Celebrating the depth and diversity of BC publishing
Students in grades 5-7 are invited to join this virtual author presentation with the award-winning author/illustrator of Swim Team, Johnnie Christmas.
This splashy, contemporary middle-grade graphic novel follows young Bree as she faces her fear of swimming head on, while at the same time confronting the longstanding barriers of systemic racism set within the public pool system. Johnnie Christmas conveys an engaging story with courage, and heart and shows us the wave of change can start with the smallest ripple.
Mr. Christmas will talk about his graphic novel Swim Team and how it was created.
Registration required. Elementary school teachers can register to receive a Zoom link to attend the presentation with their class. Register online, email brownr@nvdpl.ca, or call 604-984-0286, ext. 8184.
