Book Launch - Bill's Hospital Adventure

Description

Join South Australian author Stephanie March for the Adelaide book launch of Bill's Hospital Adventure: Every Feeling Matters!, a heartfelt children's picture book helping children and families keep the health conversation alive. 

Born from Stephanie's decade of navigating the paediatric health system with her own family, the book follows Bill and his colourful friends, the BB Crew, on a gentle hospital adventure. Along the way, Bill discovers that it's perfectly normal to feel a whole mix of emotions when visiting hospital and that every feeling matters. 

The story is designed for every child, whether it's their first hospital visit or one of many. 

This book launch includes a talk from the author, followed by a book signing, with copies available for purchase on the night. 

Guests can also gift a book through our donation program, helping the story reach children in hospitals and charities across Australia. 

Gold coin donations are welcome on the night for PCD Australia or the Friends of the Women's and Children's Hospital Inc.
