About ARCadia Festival Of Ideas: Surfing the Moon with author Emily Dodd

Join CBeebies screenwriter (Tiny Wonders, Nina and the Neurons) and children's author Emily Dodd for a rocket themed storytelling session with her brand new book: Surfing the Moon/ Jack knows he’s different from other kids – he doesn’t think the way they do. Jack’s love of the moon leads him on a courageous journey into the sea. This is a story about neurodiversity, finding new friends, facing your fears and following your dreams. At the end of the event, there will be a short, fun craft activity making some mini-rockets. There will be an opportunity to purchase a signed copy of Surfing the Moon after the event. In partnership with the Children's Wood.
