Sunday 1 June, 11.00am

Celebrate the double launch of Susanne Gervay's Guess How I Was Born and Parrot Palace.

Guess How I Was Born explores diverse families and all the ways a child may come into the world. This book encourages every child to feel included and know that they belong. Delightful, honest and fun, this book creates opportunities for children to celebrate their uniqueness!

In Parrot Palace, Hari, Lily-Rosa, and Mikey come from different cultures, but their differences unite them as they form a close-knit team. They share their secrets as they navigate their dreams and challenges. Will Mikey become a joker or follow in his dad's footsteps as a builder? Can Lily-Rosa balance her dreams of becoming a firefighter, and a ballerina? And will Hari fix the disaster he created for his Nani and mother?

Award winning Deborah Abela will do the launching honours.

Free, but bookings are essential.
