It’s always exciting to hear someone somewhere has enjoyed reading your book, and no less when it’s a teacher sharing your creation with their class.
World Book Day 2018
World Book Day was extra special this year because I was able to spend it in MY school, the school where I work, alongside it’s lovely staff and pupils.
Since the theme was ‘Share a Story,’ the staff got their heads together and arranged a rotation of activities based on one of their favourite books.
Here are a selection of photographs:
Leigham Primary School; Celebrating Books… and Biscuits!
This week Leigham Primary School celebrated Book Week and I was delighted when they asked me to join them.
Proof! The Jolly Dodger could exist
As a children’s writer the line between the real and the imaginary is often blurred, so imagine my excitement when I heard that it is entirely possible to build an aerodynamic biscuit rocket!
Super Space Stories!
There was a real buzz at Blackpool C of E Primary School today, as the Key Stage One and Reception classes joined me for a morning of story writing and a special assembly.
‘Aerodynamics of Biscuits’ sells in Korea!
I have the best news to start the New Year!
Oliver and his pirate mice are on their way to Korea, spreading their love of biscuits and adventure.
Devon Book Club’s Birthday Celebrations
It was wonderful to be a part of Devon Book Group‘s third birthday celebrations in Dartmouth.
Book lovers came out in force in the mizzle and drizzle to hear from six writers (myself included) to visit and browse the local bookshops (Dartmouth Community Bookshop and Dartmouth Bookseller) It was also National Book Shop Day #bookshopday so an extra reason to get together to chat and eat cake.
‘Aerodynamics of Biscuits’ Premiers at Beautiful Days
Ok, so maybe I’m biased, but hundreds of smiling, laughing, applauding families can’t be wrong! I mean… there were even songs!
Publication day for ‘Biscuit Blast Off!’
To celebrate the publication of my Maverick early reader with Sophia Touliatou, ‘Biscuit Blast Off!’ I thought I’d share a little bit about how the new book came about since early readers can be something of a mystery to authors.
