+ Add to calendar

25 October 2026

Celebrate difference, diversity and stories with author Tracey Hicks at this very special event honouring World Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day.

Tracey was born with Spina Bifida, but she hasn’t let that stop her! She’s sold thousands of her books worldwide, books that celebrate difference and diversity, books that encourage us to see not barriers, but different ways of being.

Tracey will read one of her fun picture books, I Can and I Will Hill. This very personal story explores Tracey’s journey learning to walk as a child. It’s a story full of challenge, heart and determination and will inspire all of us who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges. Tracey will also share some stories from her life, talk about the importance of creativity, and will have some fun activities to share.

Tracey will have books for sale on the day at $15 each via cash sales or bank deposit. Come along and support Tracey and celebrate the differences in all of us!

Suitable for children 5+ but all are welcome!
