I am thrilled to be named the 2016 Family Literacy Day Honourary Chair. Through my work as an author and illustrator I encourage reading and literacy engagement. Families reading and playing together is an important theme that I often include in my books. I have been participating in Family Literacy Day events for many years now and I look forward to increasing my participation in this exciting new role.
January 27 is family Literacy Day, and ABC encourages Canadian families to have “15 Minutes of Fun” learning together this Family Literacy Day – and every day. Practicing literacy every day has tremendous benefits for both children and parents. Visit FamilyLiteracyDay.ca for fun ideas to get your family started and make family time learning time!
