Hong Kong Public Libraries and Bring Me A Book Hong Kong will co-organise the REadCONNECT Family Activities on 27 April. A series of fun-packed and interesting activities, including an iconic Reading Tram Ride, Author Meets and Greets and Creative Book Making Workshops where parents joining the activities with their children will learn the strategies and skills of read aloud, how to ask questions, make connections, and visualize what they read and see, and unleash their artistic potentials by creating unique books.

Reading Tram Ride [Explore more]

On the tram, storytellers will introduce Mo Willems’ illustration style and pose them some questions to kickstart the tram journey. Mo Willems’ style of using real life photographs (of setting) and own hand-drawn illustrations of the characters will inspire participants to personalise their stories. Through storytelling and real-life observations made during the tram ride, parents and children will be encouraged to put their mobile device down and to observe the buildings, scenery and happenings on the street.
