Seeding Readers: Author and Illustrator Call for Submissions
Early Childhood Literacy Committee
Are you a local author? Do you have a story that celebrates the joy of reading, the magic of books, or the power of oral storytelling traditions? Are you an emerging illustrator who delights in bringing stories to life through your art? The Calgary Reads Big Book Sale, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Calgary, invites you to submit your stories or illustrations to our Seeding Readers Campaign.
In celebration of 20 years of service in our community, the Calgary Reads Big Book Sale is launching our Seeding Readers Campaign. Each year a new picture book will be written and illustrated by a local author and illustrator, and it will be published and distributed to families in our community. Like a dandelion spreading its seeds upon the wind, it is our wish that these books find their way into the homes of children and help them grow a deep-rooted love for reading.
