Keynote: Michael Redhead Champagne - How Reading Saved My Life
Michael will share about how literacy and books helped him as a child and adolescent to overcome loneliness, trauma and displacement. He will share the role that books, libraries, librarians and teachers had on his literacy journey that led him to his current role as a community leader and published author. He will also share elements and lessons from his children's book We Need Everyone and the graphic novel about his life Little By Little: You Can Change The World, both published by HighWater Press in 2024.
