Young readers, you’re invited to a fun, festive party! Dance along with Anne and her friends during the reading of My Soca Birthday Party: with Jollof Rice and Steel Pans. The party continues at Jackson’s house, in Hot Cross Buns For Everyone. This party is about to get very big because the parents will join in to sing and play!

In this story, Liam is bringing his favourite Scottish hot cross buns, Dimitri’s hot cross buns have a special spice, and there is a Jamaican bun and cheese recipe! Join author Yolanda T. Marshall for a high-energy story time. The question is, what will you bring to the party? We will have some time to colour and decorate your special hot cross buns!
