About the event

Richmond Library: “Matt the Bat and the Bird of the Year” – Book Launch with author Catherine Budai
Join with us as author Catherine Budai reads her first picture book “Matt the Bat and the Bird of the Year”.

"Inspired by the unforgettable moment a bat won New Zealand’s Bird of the Year in 2021, this charming picture book follows young Matt the Bat on his quest to achieve the impossible — take out the top spot in Forest & Bird’s famous competition.’’

We also invite you to stay and get creative and make your very own flying creature using natural resources at our Get Crafty event at 10.30am - 12.00pm.

Books will be available to purchase for $22.00
Cash sales or Credit/Debit card.

“$1.00 from every copy sold is donated to Forest & Bird to support their conservation work across Aotearoa."
