Book Launches in April


Next month sees three diverse book launches at the Children’s Bookshop in Kilbirnie:

Thursday April 4, 6:00pm
Anzac Day: The New Zealand Story 
by Philippa Werry
Useful for the whole family, this fascinating new book exposes the rich history behind Anzac Day, seeking to answer the many questions children often ask their parents around the 25th.



Wednesday April 10, 6:00pm

Mysterious Traveller 
by Mal Peet and Elspeth Graham
Many of you will know that renowned author Mal Peet is in Wellington teaching at IIML. Mal and Elspeth are from over the ditch and don’t know too many people here yet, so this is your chance to welcome them and celebrate the launch of their picture book. As John McIntyre says, “Bring your friends ... we need to make this a big Wellington event.”


Saturday April 13, 3:00pm
A Winter’s Day by Melinda Szymanik
Melinda is thrilled to be invited to come down to Wellington and launch her new book. Come along and be part of the welcome and join us for dinner afterwards. Here is a snippet from Barbara Murison’s review: “This book, which is based on the experiences of Melinda's father and his family, is hard to put down and even harder to forget.”


PLEASE RSVP THE CHILDREN’S BOOKSHOP 
(PH. 387 3905) FOR ALL BOOK LAUNCH EVENTS.
