NCWV End of Year Festive Luncheon - Hazel Edwards OAM on Writing for Young People
As National Council of Women Victoria Inc has long been interested in children’s education and books that encourage respect for girls and other cultures, we are delighted to announce that our guest speaker at the 2024 Annual Luncheon will be Hazel Edwards OAM Australian Educator, Author, Speaker and Literacy Ambassador.
Hazel has written books for children, teachers and adults. Her best-known publication is the children’s picture book classic There’s a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake (1980), now a series of picture books, classroom play scripts, a musical stage production and a short movie.
Hazel is a prolific author with over 200 books across numerous genre - Picture Books, Easy Reading Books, Young Adult Fiction, Adventure Writing, Adult Mysteries and Non-Fiction.
Her memoir ‘Not Just a Piece of Cake’ (2023) takes the reader behind the books. It’s about risk-taking: intellectual and physical. This quirky memoir shares the diverse workstyle of a long-term author, who also has a family. And who writes for adult as well as child audiences.
As in past years we are offering a 2-course plated lunch with a beverage on arrival and table service tea and coffee.
Venue: Batman’s Hill on Collins-cnr Spencer & Collins Sts.
Cost $81; Bookings
Make up a table with Friends. Booking close 5pm Monday 18 November 2024.
