What is a children's book in 2019, what language do children and young adults communicate in and has it changed since the days of Beatrix potter? Wellington Author Michael Petherick has a new book out this week titled #Tumeke!

The book has grown out of the extremely popular Annual series edited by Kate De Goldi and Susan Paris. 

It's an exploration of how a community puts an event together told through the eyes of kids in a stream of different media types. Michael swings in to our Wellington studio to explain.
