To This Day: For the Bullied and the Beautiful

by Shane Koyczan
Annick Press
9781554516391
72 pp.
Ages 9+
For release September 2014

In February 2013, Canadian spoken word artist Shane Koyczan grabbed global attention with his anti-bullying message in an animated video of his performance of To This Day on his YouTube channel as part of To This Day Project.

In a brilliant move, Annick Press will publish Shane Koyczan's work and added illustrations from 30 international visual artists.  I look forward to reliving the passion of his words in this new format.
