World Book Day is a fabulous event, and a great way for schools, authors and illustrators to share the magic of books with children. The only problem is, that it is on a single day (this year on the 3rd March) and it is very hard to be in more than one place at the same time! So this year my World Book Day turned into a World Book Month as there were so many requests for visits.
Thirteen schools, one pavilion and a castle!
It feels like I've been everywhere, over a period of eighteen days. I've been to...
- Hartford (Cheshire)
- Richmond
- Ipswich
- The Lakes
- Hackney
- Ross-on-Wye
- Liverpool
- Waterlooville
- Fareham
- Bournville!
I have crafted with over 1,200 children and seen hundreds more, and it's been just amazing!
It has been really fantastic to meet so many children, teachers, librarians and parents. Thank you to everyone for making me (and Shifty, Sam and Kitty!) feel so welcome.
Time to start to look forward to World Book Day 2017 (I'm already receiving invites!).
