MASC Young Authors & Illustrators Festival

Saturday, April 17, 2021

This year, the MASC Young Authors and Illustrators Festival embarks on a virtual journey into the literary worlds of some of Canada’s finest creators of books for children and teens. Students in grades six to eight are invited to sign up for a day of literary events and hands-on creative workshops, working with the authors and illustrators of their choice.

MASC is delighted to feature some of our favourites from festivals past, including authors Kevin Sands, Monique Polak, Jessica Scott Kerrin and Melanie Florence; and illustrators Katherine Battersby and Kean Soo.

The event will be hosted by Just Jamaal the Poet
