Join Dinalie Dabarera as she launches her debut solo picture book, Quiet Time with My Seeya, a heart-warming meditation on the immutable bond between grandparent and grandchild, brimming with sweet mischief and tender insight.

There will be a reading followed by discussion, fun drawing activities and a book signing – a perfect day to spend with your seeya, gumang, grandpa, gung gung or nonno. Aachchis, dyinguranangs, grandmas, po pos, nonnas and the whole family are welcome!

About the book:

Time with my seeya is quiet time. Mum says that’s because Seeya and I speak different languages. But that doesn’t matter to us, because my seeya and I like all the same things…

Whether they are playing dress-ups, going on adventures, making pittu, or reading to each other, any time shared between Sona and her seeya – her Sinhalese grandfather – is full of delight and bursting with love.

11.00am start.
