We’ve been saying it for years now: reading is the most punk thing a kid can do. But how do we get the kids on board? Wordfest Youth has developed a winning approach and we want to share it with you. Join acclaimed young people’s authors Deborah Ellis (The Breadwinner and Go!) and Vikki VanSickle (The Lightning Circle) in conversation with Calgary educator Monti Tanner, as they dive into tween and teen literature, how to get your kids to buy in, and everything we’re up against in the ongoing battle for literacy.
