Pretend City Kidstock – April 26, 2025
Toni joined the lively celebration at Pretend City Kidstock 2025, where she introduced her newest children’s book all about sunflowers! With bright illustrations on display and fun facts shared, kids and parents got a sneak peek into this joyful, educational story. One of the highlights was Toni’s charming storytelling session at 2:30 PM—an afternoon full of sunshine, music, and imagination.
School Visit – Vesa Merde Preschool, Costa Mesa
Toni also visited Vesa Merde Preschool, spending time with young students and bringing the sunflower story to life through interactive storytelling and delightful visuals. The children’s smiles said it all, another meaningful moment in her mission to spark curiosity and love for nature through books.
February Events:
Beautiful Reading at Raglan Surf Co., New Zealand 🇳🇿
Last month, we had a magical gathering at Raglan Surf Co. as we welcomed Toni Haas, author of Goodnight Surf City, for an exclusive book reading!
Toni traveled all the way from the US to share her beautiful story, bringing readers together in a cozy and heartfelt session. The event also featured Whetū Harakeke Weaving, allowing attendees to take part in a creative and reflective activity inspired by the book’s deep connection to the coastal spirit of Raglan.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event truly special!
Stay connected for more exciting events. We can’t wait to see you next time!
