Thousands of Denver children will learn this summer what it feels like to live without arms, or the ability to control the way they speak, thanks to “Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus.” The humorous youth-fiction by Arizona author Dusti Bowling was announced Wednesday as the 2018 selection for Youth One Book, One Denver, a city-sponsored program that gives kids aged 9-12 free books for the summer, supported by workshops and activities from libraries, schools, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Lighthouse Writers Workshop, Art Students League of Denver, and others. “Dusti’s wonderful book teaches our children a powerful lesson – our challenges and triumphs are universal, and by celebrating our differences and our talents, every one of us has the ability to succeed,” said Mayor Michael Hancock, following the unveiling of the book at Force Elementary, in a press statement.
