Behind every great book is a person with something to say — and meeting that person can change everything. In this video, teachers and students from Golden Secondary School share what it means when an author walks into their classroom: the curiosity it sparks, the stories it unlocks, and the way it makes literature feel like something that truly belongs to them.
Author visits like these are at the heart of the BC and Yukon Book Prizes’ annual programming, connecting writers with young readers across BC and Yukon. But this work depends on your support. Watch the video, then donate today to help us bring more moments like these to students across the region.
