World Book Day 2019

What a busy couple of weeks! I've had a wonderful time visiting schools as part of their World Book Day celebrations.

My week started with in Andover and Basingstoke with the Hants School Library Service. What lucky schools to have such brilliant librarians! They help pick out the best new titles and make sure the schools have plenty of variety on their bookshelves. The kids were brilliant, too! I visited St Bede's and St John the Baptist's primary schools, who played host to other schools joining us on coach trips. It was bookish, busy, bonkers and lots of fun.

 On World Book Day itself I was invited to Milldown Academy, Blandford Forum for a whole day of sessions with everyone from reception to year 6. No rest for wicked sausages - I was at Christchurch Primary in Bradford-on-Avon on Friday morning along with Fleur Hitchcock! 

The children at Christchurch had all been challenged to make a 'book hat' from a piece of card. The hats were based on their favourite books.Assembly was BRILLIANT! I've never seen so many wonderful, creative, inventive and varied hats. What a great idea - much cheaper and simpler than costumes, and they got everyone talking about favourite stories. I think my favourite was a traditional caravan hat from Danny the Champion of the World. The hats meant I found out about some books I'd not heard of before - and I've now borrowed them from the library for my kids to read!

I'm still not done! I'm visiting Old Sarum Primary with Waterstone's Salisbury tomorrow, then I'll be at the Bournville Lit Fest for a sold out Ten Fat Sausages event on Saturday. Phew! ​Thanks to my publishers and Authors Aloud for keeping me organised, and to all the bookshops who've helped with book sales.

Hooray for books, every single day!
