Picture Me, Wellington

This celebration of illustration for children will see three illustrators travel here from France, Germany and Poland and take part in events in bookshops, galleries and libraries for both children and adults, with workshops, panel talks, a live mural painting and an exhibition, which will include work from New Zealand children’s book illustrators.

Picture Me is co-ordinated by Gecko Press. Take a look at their website here for the amazing line-up of events, including sessions with local stars Gavin Bishop, Giselle Clarkson and Sarah Wilkins.
