Our annual Picture-Book Poetry Garden Party was held at the Holiday Inn Cairns Harbourside, 209 Esplanade, Cairns on Sunday 22nd October from 2-3pm. It’s like Book Week meets National Science Week … with a poetic twist! 
This year’s feature author was Pamela Galeano with her picture-book Glissandra the Glider. As well as hearing an accomplished published author read some of their own work, we learnt aspects of Pam’s writing journey as well.
People who brought a Picture-Book they liked, received a raffle ticket for the draw for a book voucher from Collins Booksellers Smithfield. After a group photo of all those picture-books, everyone took their picture-book home with them.
This FREE event of Storytelling and Science Rhymes happened shortly after World Space Week. Students from Whitfield State School recited their poems about Water (which were created for National Science Week) and Trinity Anglican School students shared their passions for Space and our Solar System. It was a cosmic event!
