We’re thrilled to be joined by a stellar line-up of local children’s book creators. This year’s CBCA Children’s Book Week artist Jess McGeachin will be on hand to help you Book an Adventure. Join Anna Walker for a froggy-themed craft workshop inspired by her book Snap! Come for storytime with Angie Cui, author of My Mum is a Bird and also Olivia Muscat – author of My Name is Jemima.

Adventure awaits!
