What would you do if you discovered that your grandma’s sparkly blue handbag was actually a magical world? Join author and illustrator KD Greaves for an enchanting adventure with Klara, who climbs inside Grandma Georgia's amazing handbag and tumbles into a fantastical world filled with surprises - accompanied by Grandma's curious little black cat!
With lively storytelling, imagination, counting challenges and plenty of opportunities to spot the mischievous cat hiding in the illustrations, this interactive event is perfect for little ones and their grown-ups. After the story, children can get creative by making their own paper handbag, a black cat stick puppet to hide inside it, and the candy lollipop from the story.
Come along and discover where Klara's adventure will take her!
