Festival director Darryl Davids addresses keen learners on the opening day of the festival on what it means.

Marisa Steynberg engaged the little ones on her book Jessie and the Riverine Rabbit.

Children’s book author René Adriaans Toesie explained the message behind her book The Secret Life of Poop was to educate children on sewer networks and how to keep them clear of blockages.
