Tony Armstrong visits Monash Children’s Hospital

Monash Children’s Hospital this week welcomed special guests Tony Armstrong and Emma Sjaan Beukers to read their new book, George the Wizard, to patients and families. 

The audience was treated to a magical story and beautiful illustrations, with Tony and Emma gifting and signing copies for all who attended. 

The visit was organised by the wonderful team at Monash Children’s Hospital School and took place in the hospital’s Starlight Express Room which streamed the visit to ward beds across Australia. 

‘It was such a special visit for our young patients and their families,’ said Kate Cooper, Assistant Principal at Monash Children’s Hospital School. 

‘Visits like this provide opportunities that many of our students miss out on when they are away from their own schools.’
