Interviews with NZ Children's Authors website launch

This website was officially launched at the Centre for the Child on Monday March 18th, as part of the 2002 New Zealand Post Children's Book Festival.

Taking part were a number of local authors as well as children from Christchurch East School who helped put together the authors' questionnaire. The authors commented on their experience of filling out the questionnaire. Some of their responses (including most embarrassing moments) were projected onto a big screen for the edification of the audience.
