Story time

Do you want to meet your Grandma?

Tuesday 17 January 2023
Live online
The cover of the book Do you want to meet your Grandma?

Book in (see what we did there?) and listen online to a lively reading of Do you want to meet your grandma? by author SV Middleby, then create your own visual response with materials found around the house.

This humorous, insightful and interactive book is for young children celebrating our shared universal ancestors.

We recommend looking for something to:

  • Draw with
  • Cut
  • Stick or attach
  • Build!

Find things in your favourite colour, a fun fabric, something long and thin, something from outside – use your imagination, and remember to check your recycling bin!

This program is made possible with funds donated by Tim Fairfax AC.
