Family Time with Sheena Dempsey: Pablo and Splash
Sorry, this event has sold out
Bring your little ones for an exciting morning of storytelling and creativity with Folkestone-based illustrator and children's author Sheena Dempsey!
Perfect for kids aged 6-9, this lively session will feature a captivating reading from Sheena's beloved graphic novel, Pablo and Splash, which follows the fun-filled adventures of two time-travelling penguins.
Children will be drawn into the delightful world of Pablo and his trusty friend Splash, with interactive activities that spark imagination and encourage young minds to explore their own creativity.
Expect lots of fun, laughter, and inspiration, as Sheena shares the stories behind her charming characters, invites kids to participate in playful activities, and answers their questions during a special Q&A session.
This is the perfect opportunity for budding artists and curious readers to meet a real author and illustrator, ask questions about the creative process, and discover the joy of storytelling.
Don't miss this chance to inspire your child's love for books and art in what promises to be an unforgettable morning at the festival!
