We have two talented Picture-Book author/illustrators sharing their stories!
Cairns-based author Diane Finlay published “The Duck With No Quack” in 2006. It is about a duckling called Oswald who seems to have lost his quack. His Mama sets off in search of Oswad’s quack while her babies are having an afternoon nap.
Mena Creek artist Jacque Duffy published a series of children’s books starting with “That’s Not A House” after Cyclone Larry devastated her home near Innisfail. She will be sharing her latest book, “The Bear Said Please”. A very hungry bear looks everywhere for his favourite food. He learns how to find it and the best way to get it.
Bring your favourite picture book to the event, so we can photograph them together and see which ones rock.
We will be at the Poolside Patio, Rydges Tradewinds Hotel, 137 Esplanade, Cairns. Storytelling and Poetry recitals will be from 2pm to 3pm.
This event is a great opportunity for young poets and future authors to meet with well-established writers with a question-time session after the presentations.
Hosted by Science Rhymes poet Celia Berrell, with generous support from Rydges Tradewinds Hotel.
