A NEW book documents Geelong residents of all ages playing up.
Geelong based charity Bluebird Foundation commissioned Playing Up to explore human development through games and play.
Geelong residents aged 10 to 94 years contributed stories and illustrations for the book as part of Bluebird’s program of fostering community arts.
The picture storybook aims to inspire children “to look beyond the screen” for “the fun in simple things”.
Bluebird’s Bron Lawson said Geelong Botanic Gardens would host a Playing Up launch this Sunday.
“We are excited to share this unique little book and it seems that the Geelong community are just as keen to get their hands on it,” Ms Lawson said.
Individual donors and Geelong council’s community arts grants program funded the book.
Ms Lawson said more information about Playing Up was available by phoning her on 0438 577 214 or emailing info@bluebirdfoundationinc.org.au.
