Saturday 14 December from 11.00am to 11.30am.
Come and have some fun with this interactive storytelling session with author Marielle Bayliss who will be reading her story "Frog in a Fog". As Frog keeps bounding from place to place hoping to find somewhere to call home, he starts to feel hopeless. Will he ever find a place to settle away from all the fumes, litter and sewage?
