Watch live on Saturday 21 January 2023, from 10.30am

Join the family fun live from Liverpool Central Library.

Join us to celebrate Lunar New Year alongside beloved children's authors Eva Wong Nava and Maisie Chan. How does a writer think of a great story? How do they come up with their characters? Do they do all the drawings themselves? Drop-in to these online sessions to hear stories, join activities and ask questions to the authors.

10.30am I LOVE CHINESE NEW YEAR

Eva Wong Nava reads from her new picture book 'I Love Chinese New Year'. Twelve animals, one for each year, each one with their own special powers. It all started with a race to cross the most heavenly of rivers…

11.45am Doodles and Danny Chung with Maisie Chan

Dive into the world of eleven-year-old Danny Chung, who loves drawing more than anything – especially maths! Maisie Chan, author of DANNY CHUNG DOES NOT DO MATHS, appears live to read from her award-winning book and answer your burning questions.

Enjoy this event with others at Halton Library, Egham Library, Sheffield Central Library, Bournemouth Library and more. Contact your local library for more information.

This event ties into our current exhibition Chinese and British, which you can visit at libraries across the UK. Find a list of participating locations here.
