Children's Book Week Event at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast

  • Monday 7th August 2023

Gregg Dreise Common Wealth Head Shot

Let's celebrate Book Week at SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast. 

Every year, the Children's Book Council of Australia holds a book week across Australia to promote the importance of reading and the joy that children can find in it. Schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators, and children come together to celebrate Australian literature in a whole host of events and parades, with the week culminating with the Book of the Year Awards.

This year we are partnering with Sunshine Coast Library Services and Gregg Dreise, a gifted artist, storyteller and musician. Gregg will be story telling in our Seal Stadium at 9:45am on Saturday 19.08.20023.

Gregg is a touring Author/Musician/Entertainer who continually performs in schools, libraries, community events and even the Sydney Opera House with his didgeridoo and guitar. He designed the Indigenous Jersey for the QLD Maroons 2019, plus the QLD Murris all Indigenous NRL team jersey. He created all of the Aboriginal Art in the Sets of the reality TV show I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Outta Here Australia. As a descendant of the Kamilaroi and Euahlayi people of south-west Queensland and north-west New South Wales his storytelling addresses self-image, friendship, kindness, bullying and indigenous culture.

We will also be offering KIDS GO FREE* entry for the day, if they come dressed up in their favourite book character, and there will free books to give away as well (while stocks last).
