Last year we unfortunately had to cancel this event due to extreme heat. That is why are extra excited to re-invite you for this special family event on Sunday 7 March 2021 in North Sydney.
Marieke van Zutphen, author of the just launched Dutch-Australian children’s book Jack & Lev, will take us on a short walk into the magical world of Sydney. She will also give us exciting insights into the secrets of writing.
The walk will start and finish at Luna park, after a short sensational story about the origin of this theme park, Marieke will introduce us to the secrets of a worldwide treasure hunt. The walk will continue to Wendy’s Secret Garden where the author will read from her thrilling adventure book and we will enjoy a Dutch treat from Koek & Cake. After the presentation there will be an opportunity to get your hands on a signed copy and the kids will get some cool Jack & Lev cards to take home.
Don’t hesitate and register now for this family event! This walk & talk is aimed for a younger audience (6-12) and their parents, but everyone is welcome. This presentation will be held in English; however, since this event is about a Dutch Book for kids, Marieke would prefer to give the presentation in Dutch, but only if all participants agree.
