The week of May 5-12 I traveled to Nunavut for TD Canadian Children's Book Week. I visited six schools and saw over 400 kids. I read books, talked about illustration, taught kids how to make books and drew lots of pictures. This photo is from Nanook School in Apex just outside of Iqaluit. The entire school has only 40 kids and they were a really fun, welcoming group of kids. It really was the trip of a lifetime! If you would like to see more of my photos check out my Instagram feed here.
