Turbo charge your summer reading and connect with some of our favourite children's and young adult authors. Join us in branch for a virtual talk with Dan Santat author of A First Time for Everything.

Join award winning author/illustrator Dan Santat, as he inspires tweens and teens to tell their own stories through graphic novels. His newest book, A First Time for Everything, is a graphic memoir based on his own awkward middle school years and the trip to Europe that changed his life. Santat began drawing as a young boy, spending hours as a child and teenager teaching himself to draw by copying illustrations from comic books until he developed the unique, recognizable style that we see today. This virtual talk will inspire listeners to draw their own story as well as give them practical tips on the creation of graphic novels.
