Andrea won the 2022 Children’s Book Council of Australia Early Childhood book prize with her delightful book Jetty Jumping.
Mayor Cr James Tehan said he was pleased to see the library hosting a celebrated writer.
“We received extremely positive feedback about the session Andrea ran at the Mansfield Reader and Writers Festival earlier this year,” said Cr Tehan.
“Early literacy is a priority for our community, and Council’s role in facilitating events like this at the library is critical to how young people engage with reading and learning.”
“I encourage families with young learners to book in on Saturday and take advantage of this great opportunity.”
