This book is a fictionalized story based on the life of one of the world's greatest urban thinkers and activists: Jane Jacobs. It tells the story of Jane's advocacy in fighting highway developments and the enormous impact her ideas continue to have on the field of urban planning today. The book offers itself as an excellent resource for studying civic engagement, urban life, the history of New York and Toronto, and the role of city planning. It is aimed at those ages 6+ and can support character education lessons on perseverance, citizenship and initiative.
Susan Hughes is the author of "Walking in the City with Jane: A Story of Jane Jacobs". This book was illustrated by Valérie Boivin and published by Kids Can Press. The full clip of Susan's reading will be released closer to the festival (May 1st to 3rd). Until then, you can download and colour this colouring sheet generously provided by the author, illustrator, and publishing team.
