Information

Meet Minna. She uses masks to feel brave and navigate the world. On her first day at a new school, she forgets them and feels overwhelmed by the noise and nerves. However, a new friend reveals his own mask, teaching Minna that she isn't alone and that true inclusion means being accepted - with or without a mask. Masking is a tool people can use to help them adjust to situations where they may otherwise feel insecure or unsure. Through Minna’s story, readers will learn about masking as well as important lessons about empathy and compassion. Learn to create your own mask to wear when you need to feel as brave as a knight or as fearless as a superhero in this fun and interactive event with author Louise Gooding. Age 3 - 6
