Oakville Public LibraryBook Reading with award winning author, Marla Stewart Konrad

Marla Stewart Konrad is an author and communications professional from Oakville. She has written five

books for children, including the award-winning picture book, Just Like You. Each of her books celebrates life and childhood across many cultures. In a positive and affirming way, they give children a glimpse of the differences from one culture to another, and also the things we all share in common. Her books have been featured and reviewed in publications as diverse as Canadian Living, The Globe and Mail, and Today’s Parent, and in many newspapers and journals on both sides of the border. The Toronto Public Library listed her book, I Like to Play, on its “First and Best Books” list in 2010, one of 11 books chosen from among all Canadian children’s books published that year. Marla’s career has taken her to Hong Kong, where she lived for two years, and to numerous countries across the globe. She is currently the Director of Strategy and Internal Communications at World Vision Canada.
