Andrea Rowe Summer Story Building - School Holiday Program
Thursday 15 January 2026 at 12:00 PM
Parkdale Library
Event Description
Write your own summer story with sand castles, jetties, rockpools, sand dunes and beach fun with award-winning author Andrea Rowe.
This session features a story-share of Castle Crashing and a guided author session to create your very own summer story. Step by step we make a story.
Imagine a setting, create a character, develop a plot and solve problems just like an author would.
Award-winning, best-selling author (and Victoria’s Library Ambassador) Andrea Rowe invites kids to take inspiration from her best-selling picture books, Jetty Jumping, Sunday Skating, Castle Crashing, In the Rockpool, and Amid the Sand Dunes as you build a book of your own to take home.
