For the second year in a row, CFAM Morning Show co-host Zack Driedger headed to Ecole Elmwood School in Altona for I Love to Read Month!

He had a crowd of about 72 Grade 2 & 3 students all gathered in the library and read them the fun rhyming book "Bear Can't Wait", written by Karma Wilson and Illustrated by Jane Chapman, the book was recommended by the librarian at Ecole Elmwood and went over incredibly well with the students.

Amanda from Friesens kicked off the fun, reading Fishing With Grandma by Susan Avingaq & Maren Vsetula and Illustrated by Charlene Chua and published by Inhabit Media. This was the book that each of the kids got to take home a copy of, courtesy of Friesens in Altona!

Inhabit Media is an Inuit-owned publishing company that aims to promote and preserve the stories, knowledge, and talent of northern Canada.

Zack chatted with a couple of the students after, catch their chat below:
