Come and meet children's author Jonny Parry, who will be performing readings of his new book, How The Platypus Became which was a 'Wishing Shelf Book Award Finalist'! Come along to get your copy signed!

A playful, beautifully illustrated picture book imagining how the world's most extraordinary animal – the platypus- came to be.

Long ago, when the world was new, a cat, a fish, a duck and a frog each wished for the gifts the others had. They set off to the Spark of Life, the place where every living thing began.

How the Platypus Became is a fantastical picture book for children aged 4-8 about curiosity, friendship and finding your place in the world.

For anyone who loves animal stories, imaginative adventures, or the magic of being yourself.
