Such a joy to be able to invite @beanstalkreads schools to our annual BookFest! With thanks to @FHSSloaneSquare for the use of their beautiful premises & to @SheenaDempsey & @MzEvieMo for their fantastic sessions. We had a blast!
#BBookFest26 #WeCreateReaders
Today some children had an amazing time meeting Sheena Dempsey, the talented author and illustrator of Pablo and Splash: a brilliant graphic novel about time-travelling penguins! We loved hearing an excerpt from her brand-new book and even learned how to draw the characters!

Very excited for this one! Do tell us Richard, which books made you a reader when you were a child - or did you prefer comics or non-fiction to stories?
