About this event
We're excited that Edinburgh-based author and illustrator Morag Hood will be joining us for a children's story time – she'll be reading her new picture book Seahorse is Furious (and there is nothing you can do about it)!It's a funny, affectionate and reassuring take on the bad day blues from the bestselling creator of I Am Bat, Brenda is a Sheep and Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea. Perfect for encouraging conversations about feelings while enjoying the underwater world Hood has created with her bold and graphic illustrations.You can sign up to attend and collect a copy of Seahorse is Furious when you attend the event, and there's a free option available below as well. Morag will be signing and dedicating copies of the book on the day.Please note that this Story Time event is suitable for children aged five and under. Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian throughout the event.About Seahorse is Furious:Seahorse is having a bad day, in a terrible week, in an awful ocean. He woke up wrong and stubbed his tail and everything is wet!So don't tell him funny stories or give him a hug, and DEFINITELY don't give him his favourite snacks on his special plate…Because Seahorse is furious and there is NOTHING you can do about it. Or is there...?
