There's something truly special about children meeting a real author/illustrator, and this fun-filled preschool session with Donovan Bixley is sure to spark young imaginations.

Gather your little ones for an interactive reading of The Fantabulous Animal Orchestra, brought to life with a recording of specially composed music from the Auckland Philharmonia.

Packed with colourful illustrations, playful animal characters, music, movement, and plenty of opportunities to join in, this lively storytime is a joyful celebration of books, creativity, and imagination. 

Children will experience a story shared by its creator and discover how words, pictures, and music combine to create a truly magical adventure.

Donovan’s books will be available to purchase after the session, including his new release, Pīwakawaka People: Feathered Friends. There will also be an opportunity to have books signed by Donovan after the session.
