FREE Event: The Importance of Picture Books in the National Year of Reading
Posted on May 28, 2026
We’re delighted to announce another FREE Picture Hooks event which will be held at the Macrobert Art Centre in Stirling, as part of our Emerging Illustrators 2026 tour.
Award-winning illustrator of Coorie Doon Jill Calder, acclaimed children’s author Vivian French, and Picture Hooks 2025 mentee and illustrator Esther Kent will delve into how picture books encourage reading from early childhood – and how adults can enjoy them too!
As part of the 2026 National Year of Reading’s mission to champion reading in our communities, join us as we ‘Go All In’ to the world of picture books.
