Book Week is the longest running children's festival in Australia, celebrating its 63rd birthday this year. http://cbca.org.au/bookweek.htm
The theme for this year is 'fuel your mind'. Grace was one of approx 50 children invited along to a cafe at Brisbane's South Bank parklands to meet a number of Australian childrens authors and illustrators. She had lots of fun learning how to do illustrations, and heard talks from a few of the authors about their works. Grace was given a lovely lunch of chicken nuggets and chips, followed by ice cream with chocolate sauce. On the way out, all the children were given a goody bag containg four paperback books. Grace purchased a couple of books by Annie O'Dowd and had them signed by Annie for herself and Anna. Below is a photograph of Grace with a school friend, Sophie, and author Nette Hilton.
