Book launch, reading by the author + learn to draw your favourite animal - or make up your own!
Saturday December 11 at Craniums toy and bookstore in Whangarei, author Michael Botur launches children’s book ‘My Animal Family,' reading the book aloud with a bonus drawing class guided by local comic book artists.

They'll also help you draw some powerful poster lettering so you have some wicked artwork to take home to your whanau.
