Amazing visit to St Michael’s Catholic School, HW! What a wonderful welcome from the librarian! 😊 Author talk to very attentive Yr 9s was fab, & the writing workshops yielded original &captivating stories! 📚 Great to hear Yr 8s are avid readers! Plus a yummy brunch platter! 😋

I had the best World Book Day this year at Northwood School! An author talk to 360 students, followed by a lovely chat with the Book Club. To end the day a writing workshop where I saw so much creativity! To top it all off, the wonderful librarian painted a picture esp for me!
