To celebrate the launch of Little Bilby’s Aussie Easter Egg Hunt, published by Lothian Children’s Books and illustrated by Jody Pratt,  I will be giving away three free author sessions to early childhood centres and kindergartens in the Brisbane and Logan areas.

All you need to do is enter the rafflecopter at the end of this post to receive your entries. Winners nominate the child care centre or kindergarten of their choice! Share on social media for extra entries!

The half hour visit will include a reading of the book, an Easter egg hunt and a teacher’s resource aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework.
 
The winner has to be a parent, caregiver or staff member of an Early Childhood Centre or Kindergarten located in the Brisbane or Logan areas. Visits are to take place during the weeks from the 16th of March until the 27th of March in negotiation with the author.

The rafflecopter will be drawn on the 8th of March and announced at the official launch at the Ipswich Nature Centre opposite the Bilby enclosure.

About Little Bilby’s Aussie Easter Egg Hunt

A pleasure to read aloud, this Easter board book for ages 0 to 4 comes complete with rhyme, repetition and animal noises, and explores Australian animals in their natural habitats.
Near bush and scrub and oceanfront, they tiptoe on their Easter hunt . . .
A group of baby bilbies are on an Easter egg hunt. They find all kinds of eggs – a kookaburra’s egg, a turtle’s egg, a cassowary’s egg – before the little bilbies finally find what they’ve been looking for: Easter eggs to share with all their friends.

This colourfully illustrated picture book showcases the diversity of Australia’s egg-laying animals. Each spread reveals an egg in its natural environment and asks the question ‘Whose egg could this be?’. After turning the page, the egg is matched with the animal it belongs to.
