Ages 6 to 8 years old

Celebrate Children's Book Week with local illustrator Ken Daley as he reads Granny's Kitchen by Sade Smith, one of the books he has illustrated.  There will be a presentation and a fun drawing demo.

Program details: Pack your bags! We're travelling to the tropical island of Jamaica where we get to meet Shelly-Ann and her granny in Granny's Kitchen! Ken will do a read aloud of the book, and we'll talk about all the yummy Jamaican dishes that were made by Shelly-Ann and Granny in the story.  Afterwards, we'll get our creative juices flowing by drawing our favourite foods that we like to eat using the art supplies provided.

For children ages 6 to 8 years old.  

Presented in partnership with The Canadian Children's Book Centre.
