Booklovers' heaven at Storylines
Up to 2000 booklovers of all ages crowded into Kerikeri’s Turner Centre on Saturday for the Storylines Family Day, an annual celebration of children’s literature. Kids were kept busy with activities including book quizzes, meeting well-known illustrators and authors such as Kelly Wilson of Keeping up with the Kaimanawas fame, listening to storytellers, dressing up as their favourite characters, and creating everything from their own folding story book to paper hedgehogs crafted from discarded paperbacks. As a bonus all went home with a free book. Next year will be Kaitaia’s turn to host the festival before it heads to Whangarei in 2017. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
