Del Monte Library

Tim Harris and Nat Amoore Author Visit

Del Monte was abuzz with excitement as bestselling children’s authors Tim Harris and Nat Amoore graced our campus for an engaging author talk with Years 2-4. The dynamic duo, known for their witty storytelling and relatable characters, captivated students and teachers. Their passion for storytelling and commitment to encouraging young readers shone through as they recounted their literary experiences. The highlight of the event was the Book Birthday Party, celebrating the release or ‘birth’ of their latest titles; Shower Lands 2: Feel the Freeze and Ratbags 5: Dummy Spit.

I don’t think anyone is going to forget how Ms Azizian or Ms Attard were tasked with taking on our little ‘ratbags’ who were trying to steal the pizza. Or how wonderfully Ms Petroni danced the waltz with Nat Amoore. The humour-filled presentation left the audience in stitches, and students couldn’t wait to get their hands on their books. As the event concluded, students lined up for book signings. It was wonderful to see so many students leaving with a cherished memory of the afternoon. The Book Birthday Party was a resounding success, celebrating literature, creativity and the joy of reading. We eagerly await more adventures from these incredible authors!
