The typical Australian primary school recess break lasts 15 minutes. That’s not a lot of time … and yet so many amazing, revolting, bizarre and ridiculous events are unfolding on schoolyards across this country, every single day of the school year.

Author Danny Katz and illustrator Mitch Vane revealed the hilarious truth behind the primary school recess break in the stories in their Little Lunch series of books, now a TV show on ABC3. Many of the tales were inspired by accounts of real-life schoolyard happenings from real Australian kids. Now, Danny and Mitch are coming to the Wheeler Centre to meet face-to-face with schoolyard troublemakers, accomplices and innocent-bystanders (and probably steal more of their stories.)

At this event for primary-aged kids, Danny and Mitch will share some funny behind-the-scenes insights on creating the Little Lunch books, before working with the audience to create a new communal story. There’ll be drawing, there’ll be hilarious yarn-spinning and there’ll be a lot of laughing. Suitable for ages 5–10.
