Children's Book Signing

Madeline C. Lanshe, a valued Tangalooma staff member, recently hosted a special book signing at the resort, drawing in families and guests who came together to show their support and celebrate her creative achievement. Her debut children’s book, Floppy’s Home, has already captured the hearts of young readers, and the event created a warm, community-focused atmosphere as guests had the chance to meet the author behind the story. With a passion for storytelling, Madeline is already working on a number of new titles, with more exciting projects in development for both children and adult audiences.
 
More about “Floppy’s Home”:
 
Floppy, a friendly bat, lives in a grand house with a loving human family. He spends his evenings playing with the five children and enjoying the wonder of their home. After the family moves away, Floppy must learn to embrace each new chapter of his life as the house transforms into a school infirmary, an assisted living facility, and finally, a restaurant. Though it can be challenging, and sometimes lonely, he is able not only to find joy in life’s changes, but bring joy to the lives he touches.
