Join Patrick Aleck for the launch of his debut children’s book, Spaal’: A Raven with Different Wings. This event will feature drumming and a reading of Spaal’ by Patrick, followed by a Q&A.
About Spaal’: Being born with different wings makes flying very challenging for Spaal’. What’s worse, the other ravens laugh at him which makes him feel sad. But with help from two kind teachers, and the support of the Elder Ravens, Spaal learns that his difference is a gift, and how he can use that gift to help others. Spaal’: A Raven with Different Wings is based on a true story about determination, kindness, and strength.
About Patrick: Patrick embodies a spirit of resilience. Living with cerebal palsy, Patrick learned how to walk when he was around eight years old and since 2011, he has been on an ongoing intergenerational healing journey. In 2012, Patrick reconnected with his cutlure, and he regularily drums, publicly speaks about his story, and began composing music in 2015. Patrick is a Raven with different wings and his unique experiences continue to carry him forward in important and meaningful ways.
