About this Event

2026 is the National Year of Reading and we are excited to start it off with a brilliant children's author event with Monica Sood! Monica has written a fantastic, inclusive picture book: 'The Gift that Gives Back', illustrated by Debasmita Dasgupta.The book is more than just a story—it's an inspiring journey that teaches children courage, kindness, and the importance of protecting nature. After reading the book to us and telling us about how the book was created and what was involved we can ask Monica some questions and then take part in a fun related activity.

For children aged 3-7 and their parents and carers. This is going to be a lovely family event.
