6th December 2025

The Happy Reading Children’s Bookshop

Happy Reading Children’s Bookshop is excited to host an event with the much-loved illustrator of 'Christmas Lights on Mistletoe Street' Natelle Quek at Staple in St Peters

11am - 11.45am

A festive in-person Illustrator Event with the wonderful Natelle Quek!

This cosy, creative session invites children and families to relax, unwind, and enjoy a gentle Christmas craft activity together.

In this hands-on workshop, children will:

Create and decorate their very own Gingerbread Man greetings card based on the book
Be guided by professional illustrator Natelle Quek, whose charming artwork brings warmth and personality to every project
Discover festive inspiration from her latest picture book written by author Kate Thompson: Christmas Lights on Mistletoe Street (Puffin)

This event is designed to be joyful, calm, and welcoming — a perfect way to slow down and enjoy some festive creativity... and every child takes home their own copy of the book to keep!

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.

For all ages.

Booking is essential — spaces are limited!
