Home Is Where the Heart Is

Duration: 60 minutes

In 2020, Zanni Louise’s family had to leave their rental, stay with friends and move seven times over a summer. The seed was planted for Zanni’s first novel, Queenie in Seven Moves. Her latest novel, Cora Seen and Heard, is set in a decrepit rural theatre – Cora’s dad’s Grand Designs dream project. Meanwhile, she undergoes her own renovation project: becoming Cora 2.0. Zanni takes readers on a journey through making a book and learning to write from the heart while exploring themes such as coping with change and resilience. Kids will also learn how to write their own song, inspired by the characters in Zanni’s novels.

Venue change: please note this event will now take place in Queensland Terrace.
