B.C. Publisher Arsenal Pulp Press’ Dandelion Selected for Canada Reads 2025 Debate

Since its debut in 2002, Canada Reads has become Canada’s most popular literary competition. Held annually each March, the event features five celebrity defenders who debate the merits of five Canadian-authored books, eliminating one title each day until a champion is crowned.

This year, the 24th edition of the great Canadian book debate, themed “One Book to Change the Narrative,” will take place from March 17 to 20, 2025.

Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew, published by the B.C.-based publisher Arsenal Pulp Press, will be featured in the debate. The Alberta pastry chef Saïd M’Dahoma will be championing this novel.  
Tune in live on CBC BooksCBCBooks.caYouTube, and CBC Gem from March 17–20 at 7:05am PST to support Dandelion!
