Author Mitali Banerjee Ruths (The Party Diaries: Lucky Mermaid Sleepover) explores how paying attention to the world can spark ideas for diary writing. In this hands-on event, students will be led through the process of creating a zine—a mini-book that can be used for reflection, sketching, or storytelling. Participants are encouraged to bring a piece of paper, a pencil or pen and scissors. Grades 4-6.
This event is sponsored by Scholastic Canada.
