Join the 2022 CBCA Picture Book of the Year - Early Childhood winner, Andrea Rowe, for a super special weekend storytime to celebrate CBCA Book Week. Come along to hear her latest picture book release, Sunday Skating. There'll be some fun activities for children aged 3 - 8 and please feel free to show off your Book Week costume if you have one.
Andrea is an Australia Reads ambassador and mentors writers of all ages in unpacking the stories they’d love to write. Her first book she wrote was all the way back in Grade 4 for her own school’s Book Week about a mouse who was in search of a house. Andrea might just bring that book along too to inspire young writers.
