During the course of this three-day weekend festival, kids will get to participate in a free reading session including a couple with live illustration sessions with the authors. Polyglot Theatre, an Australian company specialising in experimental theatre, is also bringing Sound of Drawing, a free interactive experience where kids are encouraged to draw on large sheets of paper hooked up to a table wired for sound. Younger kids who love Maisy Mouse will also get to meet the famous storybook mouse at the Fiesta Book Nook.
Ever wondered what you kid thinks of you? Jessica Wilson's interactive experience titled I See You Like This lets kids art direct a creative portrait on their parents' faces. The grown-ups will be at the mercy of the kids as they become subjects of this interactive art experience.
