Diversity Matters, in partnership with Rainbow Caterpillar, will be announcing the young winner and talking about this special writing competition for kids on Friday November 14 at 11:00 a.m. at the Toronto International Book Fair. The winner has been identified for the inaugural Rainbow Caterpillar Junior Writing Competition.
Rainbow Caterpillar is a multilingual bookstore whose passion is bringing books to kids, their parents and grandparents in an array of languages. The Junior Writing Competition, launched in 2014, is for kids aged 8 – 13, who would like to write a story in their heritage language. Diversity Matters, as part of the Giving Back initiative, is proud to support kids and sponsor the winning story, which will be presented on November 14 at the Toronto International Book Fair.
How do we make sense of diversity, of difference in race, faith, language? How do we make diversity meaningful, so that it opens up our minds, makes us feel uncomfortable perhaps, teaches us something that we did not know? Books can take us to unknown worlds, and children’s books even more so.
Join Diversity Matters in getting kids on board to read and write in their heritage languages. Join us at the Toronto Book Fair as we celebrate kids and writing.
