Author Terri Tatchell is coming to Burnaby to talk about her newest children’s book.

An Oscar-nominated screenwriter is coming to Burnaby this spring to chat about her latest project – a children’s book.

Terri Tatchell, who was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay in the 2010 Academy Awards for District 9, is coming to the Indigo at Metropolis at Metrotown for a reading and signing event.

She’ll be on hand at the store on Saturday, April 4 from noon to 1 p.m. She’ll be talking about the first book in a new series about endangered and misunderstood animals, Aye-Aye Gets Lucky.

“On the surface, Aye-Aye Gets Lucky is about a misunderstood lemur finding a way to win the love of the villagers, but look deeper and it’s a story about empathy, self-acceptance, community and second chances,” says a write-up about the book.
