🎉 What an amazing day we had yesterday at the Book Cow! 📚
We helped @catherinemeatheringham launch her latest picture book, "Our Home," beautifully illustrated by Max Hamilton. This wonderful book takes us on a journey through the diverse places we live in Australia, from bustling city streets to quiet suburbs, farms, and the outback. 🏙️🌾🏡
A special reason to launch "Our Home" this weekend was National Families Week! 💕 This week reminds us of the vital role families, in all their diversity, play in our communities, nurturing and supporting children as they grow. Safe and secure homes are crucial for families everywhere, especially when war, conflict, and economic hardship can make it tough to create and maintain a stable home. Without homes, families cannot support their children to learn and grow. 🏡🌏
"Our Home" is extra special with its fun onomatopoeia, bringing the sounds of our homes to life! And speaking of sounds, the windy weather outside the shop added its own soundtrack, making the day even more memorable with nature's noisy backdrop. 🌬️🍃
Keeping up with the theme of wind.... we were also thrilled to have Cristina from the award-winning Windy Hollow Books, the publisher of "Our Home," join us. And a huge shoutout to ACT Government Ministers Rachel Stephen-Smith and Rebecca Vassarotti for celebrating with us, sharing their love of reading, and even reading a couple of pages! 🙌📖
Thanks to all the local kids who joined in the fun, reading aloud and making the sounds of our homes. Your enthusiasm made the day unforgettable! 🎉👧👦
