Join us for an extra-special Family Fun Day and Book Launch! Inspired by the illustrated children’s book My Extra-Special Aunty written by Joanna Bowers, this will be an unforgettable experience for all the family - and for our aunties!
Told from a child's perspective, My Extra-Special Aunty is a celebration of the migrant domestic workers that many Hong Kong families have at their heart. The story encourages young children, families and aunties to develop mutual empathy, kindness and respect.
This heart-warming tale is written in English and Traditional Chinese by award-winning filmmaker Joanna Bowers and features stunning illustrations by domestic worker artists.
We encourage families to invite your aunties (domestic workers) to join the festivities - children and aunties can immerse themselves in the story together through animated book readings and fun creative activities that are guaranteed to create extra-special memories!
Buy the book in advance at https://www.myextraspecialaunty.com/
All proceeds from book sales will be donated to local charities Enrich HK and Pathfinders Hong Kong to support more Extra-Special Aunties!
