Taking place at Smol Store’s NEW location, 2704 Dunsmuir, Cumberland!
“Together, a Forest begins as an exciting journey into nature and blossoms into a meditation on how our unique personalities and ways of being help create a more vibrant and beautiful world. The forest reveals that everyone―including those of us with disabilities and neurodivergence―belong to nature. There is no one right way for a mind, body, or person to be.
Roz MacLean is an artist and children’s book author illustrator living on the traditional territory of the K’omoks First Nation in Comox Valley, British Columbia. Roz is interested in reflecting the rich and diverse world we live in and using imagination to wonder, explore and create. Her previous book More Than Words: So Many Ways To Say What We Mean was nominated for CBC Kids Read as Well As a the Forest of Reading’s Blue Spruce Award.
