Mount Gambier Library will host Dr Harry Gaffney for the launch of his children’s picture book Tiny Adventures Inside Me: A Journey into Microbiology as part of the City of Mount Gambier’s Science Week program of events.
Dr Harry Gaffney is a local medical doctor and researcher, TEDx speaker, podcaster, pathology advocate and can now add children’s author to his title.
Tiny Adventures Inside of Me will have children embarking on a thrilling adventure as they learn all about their bodies and why staying healthy is so important.
“As a healthcare professional, I firmly believe in educating children about their bodies, microbiology and fostering a sense of curiosity and wonder about science and health,” Dr Harry Gaffney said.
The book launch is a family friendly event. It will be interactive and engaging, with Dr Harry Gaffney reading from the book, igniting curiosity amongst children about the human body and inspiring them to explore the world of science through a craft-based activity.
With two dates for the launch, Tuesday 12 August at 10:30am aimed at under 6 year olds, and Saturday 15 August at 10:30am for 6 to 10 year olds, bookings are available by contacting the Mount Gambier Library on 8721 2540.
Tiny Adventures Inside of Me will be available for sale and signing with all proceeds from the book donated to the Children’s Research Foundation and other charities that work toward improving child healthcare and education.
