Olivia
Olivia is an absolute delight! A gorgeous little pig who likes to dress-up, sing songs, dance, think, snooze (sometimes) and is even quite good at building sandcastles. Her days are filled with the wonderful minutia that makes up a small child's life and, at the end of them, when she snuggles up in bed and her mother reads her a story (or three) Olivia the little pig, feels very full of love. The series created by author Ian Falconer has become a modern classic. Olivia will be joining us LIVE!!! in a special story time for kids.
Grug
Once the top of a Burrawang tree fell to the ground and became ... Grug! Grug has returned from the wilderness to remind us again of the magic of childhood, the importance of renewing the Australian wilderness and the caution we all need to take in the wild world out there. This classic Aussie hero is back from the bush to enchant a new generation of youngsters! Grug will be joining us LIVE!!! in this special story time for kids.
