Musical puppets bring novel Hijabi Girl to life next month as part of Book Week celebrations at Kingston Butter Factory’s new Butterbox Theatre.
The show is performed by Larrikin Puppets and will be a colourful and exciting introduction to the venue for local schoolchildren on August 23 and 24.
Set in an Australian school during Book Week, the show shares important messages about creative expression, problem solving and social inclusion.
Hijabi Girl is based on the 2016 children’s novel of the same name by Australian authors Hazel Edwards and Ozge Alkan.
The production features ultra-violet puppetry, which is a lively and memorable retelling of the story’s central themes.
