Join us as we celebrate National Children's Book Week here on Waiheke Island with a whānau friendly day of workshops, activities, music and storytelling.
We'll be joined by top New Zealand authors and illustrators including Vasanti Unka, Melinda Szymanik and local talent, Avi Duckor-Jones and Roger Mason.
Other treats include the award winning children's musicians the 'Spellodies', 'The Light Library' and Waiheke's very own renditions of the classic 'The Jungle Book' (Waiheke Music Museum) and Donovan Bixley's quirky sing along nursery books (Artworks Theatre).
There will be workshops on how to write a book, cartoon illustration and a chance to make your very own book.
Come dressed as your favourite book character for the 'Book Week Parade' and enjoy readings of favourite NZ books by some of Waiheke locals.
Book sales available on the day from onsite sales site.
All of this is made possible thanks to funding from the Waiheke Local Board, Read NZ, Artworks Waiheke, Island Direct, Sealink and the Once Upon An island Trust.
