Father Christmas Needs a Wee with author-illustrator Nicholas Allan is part of The Big Family Art Event. The best-selling picture book Father Christmas Needs a Wee is brought to life by author-illustrator Nicholas Allan as he draws and tells this famous bearded man’s story on Christmas Eve. At each different house that Father Christmas visits, he eats and drinks all the goodies left out for him. Before long he really, really, really needs a wee. Hilarious, and peppered with some real, YES REAL magic moments. THE BIG FAMILY ART EVENT Join us for an interactive art and literature experience that explores the bright and imaginative world of visual storytelling through live drawing and storytelling sessions, interactive song-based shows, stimulating creative workshops and lots of opportunities to join in! Children’s Writers and Illustrators for Stories and Literacy (CWISL) and Half Moon are delighted to be working with some of the UK’s best-loved and award-winning writers and illustrators on this exciting event, so The Big Family Art Event is not to be missed! This day-long festival celebrates our autumn exhibition Picture a Story, which brings together a collection of illustrations by author-artists whose published work covers an array of genres, from babies to teenagers.
