Visitors in the library… Craig Smith In April we were fortunate to have a visit from Craig Smith, the New Zealand author of the well known book and song, 'The Wonky Donkey.' Craig performed a few of his very funny songs and read his most recent book 'Willbee the Bumble bee.' Thanks for coming Craig we really enjoyed your visit! Mark Laurent and Brenda Liddiard The Junior syndicate and year 3-4 children were lucky enough to have a visit from Whangamata author, Mark Laurent. Mark has recently published his first children’s picture book, ‘Rufus and the Rain.’ Mark and his wife Brenda read ‘Rufus and the Rain’ to the classes then answered some very thoughtful questions. This very talented duo performed two beautiful songs for us that they have written about Rufus the bear. The children (and teachers) were enthralled and eager to join in.
