About this event

Join Andy Griffiths, 100 Story Building, and the young editors of Early Harvest 2022 for the exciting digital launch of When One World Ends, a creative-writing anthology written by kids, edited by kids, and made for kids. Plus, Andy Griffiths has contributed a never-before-seen story to its pages!

During this interactive digital event, students will chat with Andy Griffiths about his wild career, and partake in a mass writing activity before listening to a thrilling excerpt from When One World Ends and participating in a Q&A.

Tune in online and your school will go in the draw to receive one of several ‘school library book sets’, featuring copies of When One World Ends and other titles by Andy Griffiths.

Please note: this event will have Auslan interpretation.

This event, and the Early Harvest publication, are both supported by Gandel Foundation. Pauline Gandel Children’s Quarter, also supported by Gandel Foundation, is a purpose-built space for children and families to read, learn and play, with an associated program of activities.
