SUMMARY:Save the date! Queenscliffe Literary Festival
DESCRIPTION:For more than 10 years\, we’ve brought Australia’s finest writers\, thinkers\, and storytellers to the Bellarine Peninsula. What began as a single weekend of events has grown into a rich\, year-round program that engages our community in every season. \nEach year\, the Queenscliffe Literary Festival delivers: \n\nA Schools Program that reaches over 500 young people across every childcare\, kindergarten and primary school in the Borough of Queenscliffe\, connecting kids with authors and poets who bring stories to life\nPop-up events that take literature out into the community throughout the year\nThe Penned Micro-Fiction Writing Competition\, nurturing short-form storytelling from all across the country\nA Program Launch that kicks off in style and engages local businesses\, organisations\, and partners\nA full two-weekend festival in October\, featuring award-winning Australian authors\, thinkers and performers in sessions that spark conversation and delight audiences of all ages\n\nWe believe that great literature shouldn’t be reserved for big cities. Stories have the power to build empathy\, spark curiosity\, and bring a community together\, and that’s exactly what we do\, in one of Victoria’s most beloved coastal towns. In Queenscliffe\, we are proud to be one of the municipality’s premier cultural events. \nWe are a volunteer-run\, not-for-profit festival\, and every year we grow\, reaching more readers\, students\, and community members\, to share more stories and ideas that\, in an increasingly disconnected and fragile world\, need to be told.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: The Everywhere Train by Deborah Frenkel and Danny Snell
DESCRIPTION:The Little Bookroom is excited to be launching the new picture book from Deborah Frenkel and Danny Snell\, The Everywhere Train! \n  \nJoin the creators of the delightfully popular The Truck Cat as they share behind the scenes of their books! \n  \nYou can pre-order HERE \n  \nAbout the Book: \nOn Fridays\, Scout goes riding on the train with Pop. They look at the world ribboning past\, hello-goodbye-hello-goodbye … \nWhen Pop moves into an aged-care facility\, it seems their train-riding tradition is over\, but Scout and Pop make a plan …They build a station by his bed\, make the tickets and board a train that can take them anywhere – to yesterday and tomorrow\, to here and there\, and all the everywheres in between. \nFrom the beloved creators of The Truck Cat comes a story about trains and traditions\, children and their grandparents\, and the everlasting power of memory and imagination.  \n  \nAbout the creators: \nDeborah Frenkel is a writer of books\, billboards\, and the words on the back of cereal boxes\, which to date is probably her most widely read work (and certainly the most crunchy). Her picture books include the award-winning Naturopolis (2022) and The Sydney Harbour Fairy (2023). She’s based on Bunurong land\, in Melbourne’s Inner West\, but spends most of the time squinting at horizons in her imagination. \nAs a child Danny ­Snell was a reluctant reader\, so it was pictures rather than words that drew him to the wonder of books. Danny went on to study graphic design and illustration at the University of South Australia and he now works as a picture book illustrator and author. His books have won a number of awards including the CBCA Eve Pownall Award\, the Environment Award for Children’s Literature\, and the Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Award. Danny lives in Adelaide with his partner\, his two daughters and a sleepy old cat. And yes\, he loves to read.
