Fiona Barker - Setsuko and the Song of the Sea

Sunday 16th October, 2022

11.30 - 12.30 Child Workshop 2: Fiona Barker
'Setsuko and the Song of the Sea'

Fiona will read from her latest book, Setsuko and the Song of the Sea. Setsuko loves the sea. She swims its shallows. She dives its depths. But she worries that her friends have chosen to abandon her way of life. Then she meets a whale who also fears he is the last of his kind. In return for giving him hope, he gifts her a song which she uses to remind people of the beauty of the ocean.

"I’m Fiona. I’ve been an audiologist for over 20 years but have always loved picture books and passionately believe that reading a book together is one of the great joys of life. Now I write picture books too which has opened a whole world of opportunity for sharing a love of books."
