Today our library was filled with excitement and plenty of imagination. We were thrilled to welcome Cara Komukai, a talented young author who published her first book, Rainbow Puppy Daycare, when she was just 13 years old. Cara, now a student at Burnaby Mountain Secondary and already an inspiring storyteller, spent the afternoon sharing her book with our primary classes.
Students really enjoyed the hilarious story about the mischievous puppies and had lots of questions for Cara. Cara happily answered every question and shared that she came up with the idea for her story while she was learning online during the Covid-19 pandemic and was inspired by her Educational Assistant’s puppies, Reggie and Olive.
Cara’s book will be on the shelves of our library for families to borrow and enjoy. You can purchase your own copy from Chapters Indigo. More information can be found on Cara’s website.
We are so thankful to Cara Komukai for visiting our library and showing our students that creativity has no age limit.
We can’t wait to see what Cara writes next – we got a hot tip that her next book will be about space!
