Louis Pilon at the library

There is a book festival this week in Montreal.  The annual Bleu Metropolis Festival starts today with lots of exciting activities.  Three years ago, the organizers added a children's component to the festival.  We were fortunate enough to have Louis Pilon visit our library today to talk about his work.  Louis Pilon illustrated the book "Oliver has something to say".  He spoke to the Grade 1 kids from Merton Elementary.  The kids had a great time listening to the story and then learning how to draw Oliver.  Thanks to Bleu Met and Mr. Pilon!!
