THE YEAR AHEAD
We're so excited!
We have so many great plans for the coming school year we can hardly contain ourselves... authors, events, expanded collections, book awards, and much, much more! Read all about some of the highlights below.
VISITING AUTHORS
Chris Haughton
STUART REID
ERIC LITWIN
On Tuesday 24th April, Eric Litwin will be visiting Peak School and giving 2 presentations of 40 minutes each. He is a song singing, guitar strumming, # 1 New York Times Best Selling author who brings early literacy and music together. He is the original author of the Pete the Cat series as well as the author of The Nuts and Groovy Joe. Eric's books have sold over 10 million copies, been translated into 15 languages, and won 19 literacy awards.
GOLDEN DRAGON BOOK AWARDS 2018
Shortlist has been announced
We will be encouraging the older children to read these independently, as well as reading the picture books to the younger students. You can do the same at home - books will be available in Bookazine to buy for your own collection, or available in the Library.
The books have been scrutinized and selected by Librarians across Hong Kong so the 18 books in the Primary School age range make a wonderful reading list (think Christmas presents folks!)
Voting takes place in March 2018, so there is plenty of time.
(published in the US as "The Cartographer's Daughter")
