I am really excited about this weekend. I am volunteering on Sunday at the Auckland Storylines Festival. This free day is on Sunday from 10am to 3pm at the Aotea Centre, for children of all ages (the young and the young at heart).There are international guests Babette Cole and Carole Wilkinson, plus storyteller Cathy Spagnoli. As well there are plenty of Kiwi authors (Joy Cowley, David Hill, Melanie Drewery are just a few), illustrators, storytellers, publishers and booksellers, plus exhibits, competitions, the national final of the Kids Lit Quiz, performers, facepainters, activities and puppets. The Aotea Centre is going to be a hive of activity. And we will be there!!! I'll even take the camera and see if I can get a few shots and some comments from the famous people.
Did I mention it was free! Take some lunch and have a picnic in the Square before diving back into the hub-bub. Listen to your favourite author and get them to sign a book for you. It should be fantastic. See you there.
