Sami Bayly Book Reading

Join us at Botanica: The Art of Disguise and Deception, for a special book reading with bestselling author and illustrator, Sami Bayly. Sami will share her latest book, The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Extinct Animals, taking young readers on an exciting adventure through the amazing world of extinct and critically endangered creatures.

Through Sami's beautifully illustrated book, children will discover the extraordinary features of these fascinating animals and learn about the surprising ways in which plant and animal species depend on each other to survive. From a tiny tick living in a pygmy possum's fur to a stick insect camouflaging in Melaleuca trees, the natural world is full of incredible partnerships. 

This event is perfect for curious minds aged 7 and up. Bring the kids or grandkids for an unforgettable journey of discovery.
