Join local artist and educator Cath Hodson for an interactive storytelling and craft session perfect for young readers. Cath will read Hank Goes Honk by Maudie Powell-Tuck, then lead a craft activity inspired by the book. Hank Goes Honk is a honkingly-hilarious tale about the importance of being considerate to others, with stylish illustrations from the super-talented Duncan Beedie.

“I immediately fell in love with Hank, the anti-hero goose who honks literally everywhere.” – Sally Pattle, The Booksellers Circle
