About this Event
Michele Maiden is a children's author-illustrator based in Guildford. Following the huge popularity of her readings of her picture book, Grandpa Kuma, at several Surrey libraries in 2024, Michele returns to read her most recent book, The Worry Box Monster.
The Worry Box Monster is written for children aged 4-7 years, and tells the story of Aya, who is a worrier. During the day she is as happy as can be, but when it gets dark, when it’s time for bed, that’s when her troubles begin. The curtain turns into a scary witch, the spider on the ceiling into an evil alien and the dress on her chair into a spooky ghost. Worst of all, the box where she posts all her worries is getting bigger. What terrible thing could be growing inside and what can Aya do about it?
Michele will read from her book and talk about the bookmaking process. Children can then draw pictures of things they find scary and put them in a worry box.
