The South Simcoe Arts Council in collaboration with the Gibson Cultural Centre is thrilled to be selling Illustrator Therese Cilia debut children's book "Over by the Harbour". Feedback at our Member's Holiday Market Place has been very positive. We have had several teachers advise that they have purchased for school purposes; that they also make an excellent gift for adults who work with children! We still have 20 signed copies remaining.
