Virtual Sessions

Who says a virtual story time can't have a little sparkle of its own? I have been delighted to celebrate  some lively virtual story times this term. I'm currently taking bookings for the spring term - virtual or actual, depending on  Covid 19 -  so check out my availability on my calendar 

Winter Book Bingo

Looking for some book/story ideas to inspire you during the winter months. Why not download the pdf?

Activities

As part of my Winter Book Bingo listen to my Jack Frost Poem or go to my activities page and learn how to cut out a snowflake

Isolation Inspiration!

Alongside fellow writers, Dom Conlon, Mo O'Hara and Chitra Soundar I  have been writing a series of poems inspired by our reflections on life in lockdown. 

It's available here as a free download pdf. Do share it with your family and friends. Send us your poems, stories  and illustrations.

Why not make your own superhero?
