Kids Event: Emma Rosen 'Our Living Soils' (Ages 4+)

Join Children's author, Emma Rosen at Happy Reading Children's Bookshop for some nature-filled fun during the Summer holidays.

About this Event

Join local author Emma Rosen for a lively and educational event celebrating her latest book, Our Living Soils, sponsored by Natural England.

Through a fun and engaging reading, children will explore the fascinating world beneath their feet — discovering how soils are formed, meeting the tiny creatures that live underground, and learning why healthy soils are vital for our planet.

The session will also include drawing, colouring, and writing activities to help children connect with nature and share what they've learned in creative ways.

This is a perfect event for curious young minds who love wildlife, science, and storytelling.

Places are limited – early booking recommended.

🌿 Perfect for ages 4+ 📖 Includes storytime, Q&A, and fun book-based activities
