Schools and Children's groups

Visits and workshops are the best way to find out more about my books and all the stuff that is behind the pictures.

I make a lot of  visits to work with children of all ages, there is so much we can do together. Often the workshops will have a lot of moving around and fun plays a major part.

There can be music, rhymes, games and of course reading the stories and talking. Its amazing how lots of experiences are shared in different countries.

To arrange a visit or workshop use my contact page to send me a message.

Whether you are a school or a children's group I will be happy to work with you to arrange a good time and to fit in with your needs and plans.

I can work across the Foundation Stage and KS1 and KS2.

Generally a workshop full of activities is best with 10 – 20 children. For larger groups of a whole class or more I generally read and talk about my books.

It's really good to have time to answer children's questions, it offers a great way to find out their real interests, and some questions can be so perceptive!

As well as working with the children, I am also very happy to meet and talk with parents too, in order to help young people get the most from our sessions.

I will happily sign books too.

Sharing books with children and families is excellent for communication and talking together.
