View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibrariesOn Wednesday, we were delighted to welcome award-winning author and illustrator Zeno Sworder to Avondale Heights Library for a special after school session.
Zeno, who recently won the Children’s Book Week Picture Book of the Year award for Once I Was a Giant, shared stories from his childhood and journey into writing and illustrating. He also gave the children a sneak peek at the new book he’s currently working on! 📖👀
The session wrapped up with some fun drawing games, and our young participants had plenty of questions and ideas to share.
Missed out on Wednesday? There’s still a chance to meet Zeno! 🎉
Zeno will be at Ascot Vale Library this afternoon for another special session. There are still places available.
