Storytime with CBCA Children’s Picture Book of the Year – early Childhood author, Andrea Rowe

Frankston City Libraries is excited to welcome 2022 Children’s Book Council of Australia Winner for Australian Children’s Book of the Year – Early Childhood Category for Jetty Jumping, author Andrea Rowe to the beach library.

Andrea is also an Australian Reading Hour ambassador and looks forward to sharing storytime fun by the seashore.

Join Andrea and her seaside friends and leap into storytime, make bravery bracelets and craft your own jetty jumper to take home too.

Jetty Jumping is a picture book that captures the challenges of childhood – and the joy of letting go – in a homage to summer. While Milla’s friends take big, brave jumps off the jetty, Milla stays on the blistering wood, scared of what lurks below. But when Milla accidentally falls off the edge, she discovers the beauty of the deep, dark sea – and her summer changes forever.

Ideal for pre-schoolers and families who love the sea.
