Happy Indie Bookstore Day!
April 30 is Canadian Independent Bookstore Day – an initiative from the Canadian Independent Booksellers Association to celebrate our fabulous local indie bookstores. I’ll be spending time at one of my many favourite local booksellers, like Ella Minnow Children’s Bookstore, Book City, and Mabel’s Fables Bookstore.
Did you know that every book purchased from a Canadian indie bookstore on April 30 is worth one entry to win one of three prizes? Books written and/or illustrated by Canadian creators will be worth double. Books can be purchased in-store, online, or by phone. For more info about how to win, check out the contest rules.
And what a great day to pre-order a book! My upcoming picture book One Tiny Bubble, illustrated by Dawn Lo and published by Owlkids Books, is available for pre-order now. It’s a vibrant poetic story of one tiny bubble that sparked all life on Earth – including yours. You can find an indie bookstore near you on IndieBound.
