About this event
We can't wait to welcome Jessica Courtney-Tickle, illustrator of The Story Orchestra series, to the shop to celebrate the latest in the series: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland! Jessica will be visiting us for a storytime with crafts and music on Saturday 10th October which is Bookshop Day. About the event: Tumble into a world of music and magic with the illustrator of the bestselling The Story Orchestra series! Jessica Courtney-Tickle will read from the latest book in the series: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, before teaching kids how to draw the mischievous rabbit in a waistcoat, the Queen of Hearts and Alice herself from Lewis Carroll's classic. Pick up a musical instrument and see if you can recreate the music from the story!
