Happy Reading Children's Bookshop - Kid’s Author-Illustrator Event: Ged Adamson 'That Bird Can Draw!' (Ages 2+)

25th May 2026

The Happy Reading Children’s Bookshop

A very special Bank Holiday Monday event with Ged Adamson celebrating his delightful new picture book 'That Bird Can Draw!' at Staple in St Peters

11am - 11.45am

Perfect for children aged 2+, this joyful May half term event will include a lively interactive storytime with Ged himself, alongside drawing fun and creative activities inspired by the book’s charming characters. Expect giggles, imagination and plenty of artistic encouragement along the way!

Grandad has a new pet bird and - wow - that bird can DRAW! His granddaughter loves making art too, but she can’t help comparing her own pictures to Vera’s incredible talent. Can Vera help show her that everyone has their own unique creativity, and that the most important thing is doing what makes you happy?

Warm, funny and full of heart, That Bird Can Draw! is a wonderful celebration of creativity, confidence and self-expression from the much-loved creator of Shark Dog! and A Fox Called Herbert. Ged Adamson’s expressive illustrations and hilarious storytelling make this a picture book children and grown-ups will adore sharing together.

A lovely holiday event for little ones who enjoy stories, drawing, creativity and meeting the creators behind their favourite books.

And every child takes home their own copy of That Bird Can Draw! to treasure!

During the session, the responsible adult(s) are very welcome to enjoy their favourite coffee and pastry downstairs at STAPLE or come and hang out upstairs in the bookshop!!

Children will sit for the reading, then move to a play/craft table for activities. All materials are provided and age-appropriate.

Booking is essential — spaces are limited!
