Local Teacher Publishes Book

Sunday, 29 April 2018 at 09:21

Tammy Vallieres and Lee Thibeault stopped by the Heart FM studio to talk about Winspiration Day and the Awaken Your Inner Hero book series.

A book highlighting 100 youth across Canada by a local teacher will hit the shelves soon.

WOODSTOCK - A local teacher is co-writing a book that will highlight the triumphs of 100 youth across Canada.

Tammy Vallieres is also a Hero Intelligence Agent; someone who sees the inner hero in kids and teens. She's working alongside Jen Fitz and Susan Howson to create the first installment of Awaken Your Inner Hero book series.

Vallieres says the book will take a look at youth who are doing what they can to make the world a better place.

"Autumn is indigenous and she's doing work all around Canada and trying to bring awareness of the dire need to protect our water. She's connected with the United Nations she's worked with Severn Suzuki and David Suzuki and she's going to be in Nelson Publishing's books in schools for literacy on this, she's won a Governor General's Award and she was up for Nobel Peace Prize."

Lee Thibeault will also be featured in the book. His story began about four and a half years ago, when a motorcycle left him with a disability.

"I decided to take it upon myself to also help those who are looking to acquire the mentorship to also have a nice positive quality of life. That's where I started getting involved with being a mentor and peer supporter for young children and also for anyone around my age and older as well."

The book will hit the shelves in the next couple of months. Preordering will open on Sunday May 6th; which also happens to be Winspiration Day. The book's cover will be unveiled at the Toronto Winspiration Day celebration.
