Meet me at the Benches! Meet author Emma Oldham at the Shimmer and Shine BookBench by artist Carla Dee at Riverside Park for a storytelling session of The Whale Who Disappeared.

Dive into an ocean of adventure with Arry, the young hero who brought back the magic of the sea! Learn what special superpowers live inside you to help protect our planet too.

We’ve all heard the tale of the snail and the whale,
But it’s not the only whale tale to be told.
You see, another exists, one truly magnificent
And it starts with a clever six-year-old…

Head over the bridge and see if you can spot the shimmery BookBench from the bridge entrance, opposite Newark Castle/near Riverside Park.
