Some Families Change Storytime

We would love you to join Jess Galatola in launching her debut picture book Some Families Change on May 4th at Harry Hartog Carindale at 10am! 

This is Jess' first book with EK books and she is excited to celebrate with you. Some Families Change is a gentle exploration of different families and the way our families can change. Jess wrote this book for her own children in 2020, to help them understand big changes going on in their own family. 

This book celebrates themes of family, diversity, healing and love. We can't wait to launch it as we hope it helps many families explore big concepts and share big feelings.
