Join author Andrea Landry for the launch of her children's picture book Rez Kid (Kids Can Press). This event will be held in the Travel Alcove.
A celebration of traditional ways of life and the power of sharing what we have:
“Rez kid!” The girl ignores the taunt as she hurries to the back of the school bus. She just wants to get home to the reservation, where she can feel safe. When she tells her family members what happened, they each offer advice. Their ideas are different, but similar at heart: share something from the reservation with the other children. The girl listens but decides to come up with her own idea – one rooted in her ancestral past. Rez Kid is an inspiring story about embracing who we are and sharing our gifts with others.
Andrea Landry is Anishinaabe from a small community called Pays Plat First Nation in Northwestern Ontario but currently resides on Poundmaker Cree Nation. She’s a mother, a life skills coach through Red Echo Associates, a university instructor and a freelance writer. Her passion is working with children, young people and families in the areas of healing and wellness. She also loves learning and being on the land with her two daughters.
