We were pleased to have author and poet, Barbara Nickel, at our school to kick off Club Red. She is a prize winning author of two intermediate novels, a picture book, and two works of poetry. She is a local author living in Chilliwack with her husband and two sons.
She came and did a fantastic presentation of her latest book "A Boy Asked the Wind". She also stayed and did a special Poet's Toolbox for the intermediate students who were able to start a poem using similes. As well, we now have signed copies of all her books in our school library!
It was a great presentation and a great privilege to have the chance to interact with a real author.
A job well done to the Bookfest kids who led the assembly and introduced the author.
