Featuring these New Zealand Children's Books for 2022
BIGGER, BETTER, BRIGHTER!
One day a girl named Marley woke up to discover that ‘Something’ was missing…
And so begins a quest that will lead Marley through destinations that are strange and challenging but often oddly familiar. However, first she must determine what it is that has disappeared from her life that is causing such a sense of emptiness.
Fortunately, her story has a narrator to help her. The thing is Marley sometimes has her own ideas as to how the story needs to be told. There are books around to provide clues and directions which is a great help – if you can figure out what they mean. Marley is determined to sort it out no matter where she travels or what she encounters.
Join Marley and characters from a selection of the BEST 2022 New Zealand Children’s Books, as she seeks to discover what it is that is missing and how best to recover it.
One thing is certain - once the ‘Something’ is recovered, everything will become Bigger, Better, Brighter!
This interactive and educational musical adventure is a fun filled and energetic celebration of New Zealand literacy that brings together all the elements of great storytelling - a hero, a mystery, a quest, and an exploration!
