CANADA'S ONLY FESTIVAL CELEBRATING
books that crack kids up!
APRIL 18th - 20th, 2024
FUNNY PAGES Festival
Halifax & Queens County
Presenting sponsor
Not every kid loves to read... but EVERY kid loves to laugh.
That’s the big idea behind Funny Pages, Canada’s only festival devoted to books that crack kids up. We believe humour can introduce even the most reluctant reader to the joy of books - and even the most reluctant writer to the joy of putting a smile on someone’s face. Through Funny Pages, we want to see low literacy rates laughed right out of existence.
This year on April 18 and 19th, some of Canada’s funniest authors will entertain and inspire hundreds of elementary school students in Halifax and Lunenburg Counties.
On Saturday April 20, preschoolers and their caregivers will get lots of giggles at Little Funny Pages, a free drop-in event at the Halifax Central Library from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A registered non-profit society, Funny Pages is a year-round initiative promoting the love of reading with the help of some of Canada’s funniest authors.
