Get ready to draw in this wonderful interactive event with award-winning picture book illustrator, Petr Horácek, the creator of Puffin Peter, Blue Penguin and Silly Suzy Goose. Horácek will be reading and talking about his brand-new book, A Best Friend for Bear.  Best of all you can have a go at drawing your own best friend bear.

Horácek’s bold and imaginative illustrations captivate children and critics. His stories, often about loyalty and belonging, are told with an instinctive warmth and humour and are beautifully brought to life through his evocative use of colour and texture. He has won many awards around the world for classics such as Suzy Goose and A New House for Mouse and was shortlisted for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 2012 and 2018.
