2023 Venerable's Projects Book Tour

 

Join Trae Q. L. Venerable as he embarks on an exciting journey across Kansas City and beyond, engaging with schools, organizations, and communities through dynamic author talks, book signings, and events. Here's a look at the tour stops for the year:​

 

Throughout the year, Trae is honored to collaborate with Lead to Read KC, a program dedicated to fostering literacy and mentorship in local schools. As part of this initiative, Trae will visit schools such as Indian Creek Elementary and Hale Cook Elementary during the 2024-2025 school year to engage with students, inspire a love for reading, and share the power of storytelling. These visits are an exciting opportunity to give back to the community and encourage young readers to explore their potential.
