Children’s Book Festival Halloween Party

Come and join us for the top-secret Black Moon Halloween Party and meet a real-life dragon. The authors of the Musta Kuu (Black Moon) book series (Lasten keskus 2021–) writer Reetta Niemelä and picture book author Katri Kirkkopelto – will attend the event. The dragon will be brought to life by puppeteer Alma Rajala. WORKSHOPS TROLL “I’d organise a party for the trolls. We’d have a good time together as friends, and I wouldn’t have to be afraid of them any more!” In this workshop, you get to make trolls out of collage materials cut from magazines. You glue the trolls onto magic paper, where they are safe and cannot break free. Once you feel comfortable enough to take a closer look at the troll, you may discover that maybe all it really needs is some attention and a kind, gentle approach. The workshop is based on Satu Kettunen’s picture book Mörköjuhlat (Monster Party, Tammi 2019). MONSTER In this workshop, participants will craft various terrifying masks under the guidance of Pinja Meretoja. You can draw inspiration from Meretoja’s newly published picture book, *Monsterit vapaalla* ("Monsters on the Loose"), which features a classic cast of monsters—the Mummy, Dracula, the Werewolf, the Yeti, Frankenstein, a Ghost, a Zombie, and a Witch—or you can invent your own chilling character. The only limit is your imagination! Well-suited for ages 5–12. You are welcome to dress up according to the theme.
