Local author Maria Gill is passionate about the publication of New Zealand non-fiction books for children. And she walks the talk too. She is the author of several popular and critically acclaimed titles, including Rangitoto : te toka tū moana : the rock standing in the ocean which was a finalist in the 2010 NZ Post Children's Book Awards.Maria will be at the Warkworth Library during the school holidays to talk about some of the latest New Zealand children's non-fiction releases. Maria has recently prepared a module for primary schools to teach and promote Kiwi books so she is completely up to date with the industry. The session on Thursday 15th July at 3pm is aimed at 8 to 12 years, but it is also something that parents might like to listen to if they are interested in what is available. There will also be activities and prizes.
Check out Maria's website and also see what is happening in the world of New Zealand children's books at the Kiwi Books NZ Blog.
