It’s all about love today!

Join author Zoe Arena for a reading of Mandy is Still a Banana – Mandy is a banana. A yellow, bendy, half-moon-shaped banana. The problem is, Mandy doesn’t want to be a banana.

She would rather be a prickly pineapple like Pedro, a round watermelon like Wilhelmina, or – frankly – ANYTHING other than a banana. It takes a plucky little blueberry called Blip to help Mandy focus on her ‘haves’ rather than her ‘have-nots’ and to celebrate what makes her so unique, so bendy, so brilliant and so absolutely, utterly . .. BANANA! A quirky celebration of learning to love the skin you’re in.

A craft activity will follow the storytime.

This is a free event but you will need to book a space for your child. You can call us on 01273 479 320
