JOAN LENNON: Revolution!

FREE EVENT

Come and celebrate the launch of Joan Lennon's new children's book, Revolution!  illustrated by Teo Georgiev. The event will be chaired by Lindsey Fraser, champion of the world of books and reading.

About the book:
What does it take to change the world?
Sometimes it’s toppling systems and finding new ways to govern that give people a better chance.
Sometimes it’s challenging long-held beliefs and finding the courage to think differently.
Sometimes it’s coming up with ingenious inventions that transform our everyday lives.
The world we know today has been shaped by exceptional events, ideas and inventions. Revolution! tells the stories of ordinary people who made the extraordinary happen.
