[Schlib] CCBC Book Week 2011

[Gail Hamilton]

Hello everyone.

The Canadian Children's Book Centre has announced the list of touring authors, illustrators and storytellers for the 2011 Book Week which will be held during the first week of May. Manitoba is very pleased to be hosting storyteller Jennifer Cayley and author Mahtab Narsimhan. 

To quote Jennifer Cayley's web page, "Jennifer Cayley's repertoire favours epic, myth and traditional folk and fairy tales but she also tells literary and personal material." Jennifer's presentations are appropriate for all ages, K-12. To learn more about Jennifer, go to www.storytellingtoronto.org/DirectoryPages. 

Award-winning author Mahtab Narsimhan writes junior fiction as well as non-fiction and her presentations are appropriate for Grades 3-8. Mahtab's web site provides more details and excerpts from her books- www.mahtabnarsimhan.com. 

More information about Book Week 2011, as well as applications for author visits, will be available on the CCBC web site after September 10th (www.bookcentre.ca).
