SUMMARY:Family Storytime with special guest, BC author Stephanie Watterson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special family storytime in recognition of Neurodiversity Celebration week (March 17-23)!\nWe’ll begin with a short storytime with an NWPL librarian, followed by a readaloud of BC author Stephanie Watterson’s new picture book Septopus. Finally, we’ll share colouring pages and an informal Q&A with Stephanie.\nDrop-in.\nAbout the Author:\nAs her parents first chosen (adopted) child, Stephanie knew she was different. Despite her biological grandmother being illiterate, Stephanie started to read the swear words on the playground at the age of three. Today, she edits client’s manuscripts, empowers new BIPOC authors, and reads with fuzzy blankets at home. Stephanie was diagnosed with dyslexia, yet her literature processing skills were much higher than her peers, which inspired the start of Stephanie’s story in the form of Septopus. Her goal is to teach others about their own inner strength. She desires to empower those who are born different while building a better future for the next generation.\n
