World Book Day 2020

The week leading up to World Book Day 2020 and the week after, kept me busy with book readings. This is always a busy time for me, but I certainly do enjoy it. I spent the whole of World Book Day in a Sheffield primary school. It was great to see all the amazing outfits, with every child and member of staff participating. Unfortunately I am not allowed to share any photos due to confidentiality, but just take my word for it, they all looked fantastic. Because I was there all day, I had the time to read both stories to 3 year groups. They loved the stories and the characters, even the children that had already heard the stories. The older children asked a lot of questions and seemed really interested to hear how a picture book is made. The original plan was to read the 3rd story, but it was still in the process of being printed at the time.

During this 2 week period I also visited a local nursery. I got to read both stories, introduce them to the characters and even help with a craft activity afterwards. The children as usual were very well behaved and very interested in the stories and the characters. I have included a photo that I was allowed to share taken at this nursery. I would like to thank all the schools and nurseries that have invited me in to visit. World Book Day is always a very important date on the calendar and I’m so glad we got to celebrate it this year.
