King and Al-Solaylee shortlisted for CBC’s Canada Reads!

By News

In the fall, CBC Books asked Canadians for their suggestions of books to change perspectives, challenge stereotypes and illuminate issues. What is the one book to break barriers? That’s the question host Wab Kinew will be asking for the 14th edition of CBC’s battle of the books.

WCA is thrilled that the answer to that question could be the books of Kamal Al-Solaylee and Thomas King, who have both been shortlisted for CBC’s Canada Reads 2015!
