📚 Yes, you read that correctly... we're going to write a book!
This New Zealand Children's Book Week, we're launching Once Upon A Window - a six-week community storytelling project with one simple idea. Every person who visits Petronella's is invited to add just one sentence to our story.
One sentence will become a paragraph.
A paragraph will become a chapter.
And together, we'll create a book that's uniquely ours.
We can't wait to see where your imagination takes the story. ✨
