About

Have you ever wanted to write a children’s book? Here is your opportunity to join local Artist Gina Adams to take part in writing a book illustrated by this talented watercolour painter whose works are reminiscent of Beatrix Potter, the beloved children’s author. Gina has created a cast of characters….rabbits, frogs, bears, kittens, and more are beautifully depicted in her endearing watercolour artworks. Together you will name the characters and create the storylines that will result in a unique children’s book for all to enjoy. You will choose the title of the book.

This project is suitable for all ages and anyone with an active imagination can contribute to the book. Gina herself is a gentle soul with a deep affection for all living creatures, large and small.

The book will be a soft-cover professionally bound book published and available for all by mid-November. Books may be preordered ( $18 ) for those who would like to purchase their own and all proceeds will be donated to the S.O.S. Society of Organized Services. One book will be donated to each of the Oceanside local Libraries.

Oceanside Community Culture Days is a group dedicated to the planning, funding, and executing of BC Culture Days events for the Oceanside area on Vancouver Island. Parksville, Qualicum, Nanoose Bay, Errington, Combs, and Bowser are the main cities. We are a group of volunteers from the Oceanside Community Arts Council, the McMillan Arts Centre, and the City of Parksville, led by local Artist and Community Outreach Organizer, Pattiann Withapea. Our mandate is to provide our community with a unique and inclusive roster of events to celebrate BC Culture Days annually.
