Let’s Take a Walk

‘Let’s Take a Walk’ is an interactive picture book about Christchurch, written and illustrated to encourage children and parents to reflect on the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes.

For parents, ‘Let’s Take a Walk’ is a wistful journey through memories of Christchurch as it stood during their own childhood; for children, the book highlights the opportunity that will arise out of the work to be done, and underscores their role as the founders of Christchurch’s future.

The kinetic, fold-out pages invite readers to fast-forward and rewind time, providing them the chance to meditate on feelings of nostalgia, loss, and aspiration.
