Author Event with Menesh Patel

Wandsworth Libraries welcomes children’s author Menesh Patel to Southfields Library on Saturday 17 January from 10am to 11am for a special reading of his new picture book ‘Brain meets the Bear’. This free book event for children aged 4-10 in the SW19 area combines storytelling with a hands-on colouring activity following the reading. Young readers and their families from Putney, Southfields, Wimbledon, and across Wandsworth are invited to meet a published author and discover his latest work in an engaging, interactive format. The session supports early literacy development while inspiring children’s imaginations through quality picture book literature. After Menesh Patel reads his story, children can participate in a themed colouring activity that reinforces the book’s characters and narrative. These author events at Wandsworth Libraries expose local children to working writers, helping them understand the creative process behind the books they love. The morning session at Southfields Library offers families a wonderful Saturday activity that combines education, creativity, and the joy of storytelling. Free to attend and perfect for parents seeking quality literary experiences for primary-aged children in the Wandsworth area.
