Pyjama Storytime: Count the Stars

This year Raewyn Caisley will be reading us Count the Stars, the STEM-themed picture book that she created with illustrator Gabriel Evans. After the story we’ll enjoy hot chocolate, light snacks, and a fun craft activity.

Suitable for ages 2 to 8

About the book 

A STEM-themed picture book celebrating the love of learning, the magic of mathematics and the joy of finding a kindred spirit, from two award-winning creators. From the parallel lines of moonlight pouring through her bedroom blinds, to counting daisy petals in the garden, Maddie adores maths. If only she had a friend who marvelled at it as she does. Then Dad takes Maddie, along with her new classmate Priya, to the observatory where the unfathomable numbers of stars take their breath away.
