Join North of North actress and author Maika Harper on Saturday, September 20th at 1 pm outside Inhabit Books (612 Mt Pleasant Rd) to celebrate her new book, The First Peoples! This in-person event will be held during the Mount Pleasant Village Harvest Fair, with guest author Jamesie Fournier moderating a quick Q&A to explore the inspiration for the book and to help readers ask their burning questions. Be among the first to get your hands on a copy after a reading, and Maika plans to stick around to sign copies! There will be free snacks and drinks available; you don’t want to miss it!
