Singer-songwriter Scott Helman will champion the memoir Two Trees Make a Forest by Jessica J. Lee on Canada Reads 2021. Ahead of the debates, Scott and Jessica got together virtually to discuss this moving novel and the great Canadian book debate.

Two Trees Make a Forest is a nonfiction book that explores how geographical forces are interlaced with our family stories. A chance discovery of letters written by her immigrant grandfather leads Jessica J. Lee to her ancestral homeland, Taiwan. There, she traces his story while growing closer to the land he knew. Throughout her adventures, Lee uncovers surprising parallels between nature and human stories that shaped her family and their beloved island.

The 2021 champions and their chosen books are:

Olympian and broadcaster Rosey Edeh champions The Midnight Bargain by C.L. Polk
Singer-songwriter Scott Helman champions Two Trees Make a Forest by Jessica J. Lee
Actor and filmmaker Devery Jacobs champions Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead
Actor Paul Sun-Hyung Lee champions Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Chef, recording artist and TV host Roger Mooking champions Butter Honey Pig Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi

The debates take place March 8-11, 2021, and will be hosted by Ali Hassan. Canada Reads will be broadcast on CBC Radio One, CBC TV, CBC Gem and on CBC Books.
