The Kids Are Alright
CURATED BY KIDS IS BACK for our Literature & Ideas Family Day, where ten young creators get to hand select illustrators, authors, you name it, for their very own literary sessions.
Naturally, we wanted to see where their tastes lie so we can get a sense of what to expect from them on the big day (and of course, get to know them!).
Here’s a sneak peek into a few of their favourite things ahead of their time to shine at our Literature & Ideas program!
Adela
Adela’s current favourite series is Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling which she thinks is interesting because of all the magic, fantasy and new words she learns. Adela enjoys reading, listening to music and hanging out with family and friends.
Arkie
Arkie’s favourite book is Listen to the Moon by Michael Morpurgo because it is very interesting, very emotional and really gets you interested in the plot. Arkie likes walking her dog and her proudest moment was when she got into PEAC.
Aysha
The first book Aysha remembers reading is Kids First Rhymes and her current favourite books are the Tom Gates series by Liz Pichon because you can’t stop reading them. In Aysha’s spare time she makes her own PowerPoints and plays video games.
