Come celebrate the book launch of Turtle Tears by Megan Albany, illustrated by Paul Seden
This heart-warming picture book gently reassures children that it is both natural and healthy for adults and children to cry when they are sad.
Narrated from the voice of a child, Ruby, it centres on her no-nonsense Nan who is grieving for her late husband. She tells the child about the turtles she and Pop saw, while on holiday in South America. They cry tears as humans do, and butterflies drink their tears (factual).
The morning will include:
- Tour of turtle rehabilitation centre
- Live musical performance
- Live book reading with Megan Albany
- Copies of this heartfelt children's picture book will be available for sale on the day
