Paint Parra REaD at the library
Today, is Paint Parra REaD reading day. Parramatta Library became a RED sea – red decos, red bolloons, red Tees… The members from The last Thursday Book Club read books to the children and their parents. The library had never before seen such a crowd with so many kids, parents, and prams. Those kids and their parents came together and enjoyed a morning of reading and fun, regardless their cultural differences.
Here is the link to some wonderful photos
