POST-LOCKDOWN UPDATE:

To observe the post-lockdown COVID restrictions and keep everyone safe, we've changed up the plan. Instead of a party, there'll be a rolllllllling launch!

Cristy will be at Paper Bird books to meet and greet (and eat...don't miss out on platypus cupcakes!) and sign books from 2.30 to 4.30 on Saturday 6 February.

*** Please don't feel obliged to pop in - it's most important to be safe ***

But if you're keen, please do drop in, ask Cristy your platyputian questions and dance your best leeches-in-your-pants groovy dance....We can't wait to see you :-)

***SOLD OUT***

We've had a huge response to this event and are already at capacity.

We're so sorry if you missed out.

Please let let Paperbird staff know if you'd like to arrange for Cristy to sign your copy of Beneath The Trees at another time.

***SOLD OUT***

You (and your kids!) are invited to a LAUNCH PARTY!

Come join author Cristy Burne at Paperbird Books and Arts to celebrate the launch of her latest book, Beneath the Trees.

There'll be free fun, food, crafts and story.

Tickets are FREE! Please reserve one per person attending.

*Beneath the Trees*

Cam and Sophie feel like they’ve been travelling forever to get to the rainforest and the river and their cousins. They just want to see a platypus in the wild, but with the rain tipping down and the river turning wild they can’t see a thing. Until suddenly, they can. A platypus is just below them, and it needs help! But when their rescue attempt goes horribly wrong, it’s not just the platypus that needs saving ...

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

'Beneath the Trees is a great contained wilderness survival story for kids aged six and up … They will love reading this adventure and imaging how they would survive if lost in a forest.' Books+Publishing

'Wow, what a page turner! Couldn't put it down and raced through it faster than the raging river in the story. Cristy really knows how to grab a reader's attention and hang on.' Jan Nicholls, President, CBCA WA

See you there!
