A grey goose sits in a tiny green chair reading tiny books. This scene made from felt and cardboard is a diorama behind glass in a wooden box.

A story house is a place where creativity lives and stories come alive, where kids can create their own worlds, characters, and adventures.

Anna will share tales behind her collection of handmade story houses, which feature many of her beloved picture book characters. Participants will then have the opportunity to use found and handmade objects to craft their own story house to take home.

Have your favourite Anna Walker book signed from 1.30pm at Readings State Library.
