Celebrating the launch of Paper-flower Girl and End of Booktober

You're welcome to join us for the launch of Paper-flower Girl and to celebrate the end of Booktober! Booktober is quite simply an annual event held during the month of October encouraging people to read more books! WestWords is dedicated to celebrating and championing the stories of the people, places and cultures that comprise the heart of Western Sydney. We believe that the power of literature, self-expression and creativity can absolutely change the lives of children and young people and by participating in Booktober you too can be part of that change.

Your support provides children and young people in Western Sydney with an opportunity to develop literacy and life skills through the telling their own stories.

The Paper-flower Girl creates elaborate flowers out of paper, but she has few customers. When the Giant from the Hill brings her to work for him, they soon discover they want very different things. Before long, the Paper-flower Girl is forced to create things she no longer recognises as flowers. When the exasperated Giant throws her from the Hill, the Paper-flower Girl takes with her something belonging to the Giant, incorporates it into her elaborate flowers, and attains greater success than the Giant. This is a story about being prepared for the worst and hoping for the best.

Doors open 6pm here at 41 Hunter Street Parramatta.
