Enter to Win Incredible True Tales about African Icons, a Residential School Survivor, and a Climate Change Warrior from Groundwood Books

Stories are one of the best ways we learn, and for young readers, hearing the stories of brave and powerful people, especially those from underrepresented identities, is not only an inspiring and important learning experience, it's also a fascinating one. 

Groundwood Books is generously giving away a prize pack of three inspiring true stories, written for middle grade readers (roughly grades four to seven, though readers of any age will be moved by these books).

Enter by October 23 for your chance to win them for yourself or the young readers in your life. True tales of heroic Africans, a twelve-year old who took on climate change thirty years ago, and a girl who kept her indomitable spirit even through years of residential school – these are essential, striking, deeply affecting stories for everyone.
