Getting Us to Grandma’s Book Launch is a celebration...
Join me for the launch of my newest book, illustrated by TeMikaGrooms, published by Groundwood Books. Inspired by our 1980s childhoods, come along and ride on a fantastic voyage from Toronto to the Bronx. Listen to author Nadia L. Hohn's reading.
Its taken 10 books and a lifetime.
Come for a scavenger hunt, storytime, break dance, graffiti art, and rhyme.
Bring your bgirls, bboys, and family crew. Solo acts and grown folk are welcome too.
Below is a road map showing you the way.
There'll be refreshments and cake. You know, the deejay will always be playing your song.
Another Story Bookshop is the onsite book vendor where you can buy your copy of Getting Us to Grandma's and my other books. I'll even sign them for you.
Optional, dress code: 1980s. Wear your Adidas, kangol hats, jelly shoes, and let the groovy music play.
