Timpa's science adventures leap off the page in a free 45-minute storytelling session for kids at The Arts House, 20 Nov.
Francesco Tullio Altan's Timpa gets the read-aloud treatment from Rosemarie Somaiah, who conducts this session in English. The stories take children along on Timpa's adventures, where they meet famous Italian scientists and explorers and encounter inventions and places along the way. It is animated, and the audience gets pulled into the telling rather than left to sit still.
The session runs 6.30pm to 7.15pm on Friday 20 Nov 2026 at The Arts House at the Old Parliament, and admission is free. It is part of the Singapore Writers Festival 2026, and it is a session built for children — a 45-minute slot that fits neatly into a Friday evening.
