Speaking to Ken Tsui, pop-up creator, filmmaker (baller, shot caller), you’d never guess he had trouble learning and speaking English until the age of five. As a non-native English speaker and shy little guy, Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends let him come out of his quirky shell and offered him a whole new perspective through poetry. Now, you’d be hard pressed to get Ken to stop talking!
Listen to Ken’s story and find out which gnarly illustration he parallels to “that guy who hid behind the dumpster in Mullholand Dr.”

A Good Book Drive is an annual book drive to bring stories to a new generation of readers, and support kids in need of new books. Running through the month of November, A Good Book Drive will be inspiring Vancouverites to purchase a new copy of their favorite kids’ book and deliver it to set locations throughout the city. At these drop off locations you can personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you. All books will be donated to this year’s book drive recipient, Frontier College Waiting Room Literacy Pilot Project. Share your favourite stories with A Good Book Drive on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. |
