Very excited to be part of the fabulous Northern Children’s Book Festival again this year.
For the obvious reasons, it will be a virtual visit to my native North East, but I’m sure it will still be as much fun as always. I shall be getting beamed into a good few schools over the 12th and 13th of November.
So much looking forward to it!
It was wonderful being asked to be part of The Northern Children’s Book Festival again. I had an amazing time visiting a number of schools in Gateshead and Durham. It’s always a joy to return back up North and spread my chocolatey panic with such engaging, enthusiastic and funny audiences. It was also a pleasure meeting our brilliant librarians again. I was well looked after by Maria, Chris (from Gateshead Libraries) and Julie (from Durham) and received warm welcomes in the schools.
The amount of work and effort that goes into this festival from librarians across the North East is staggering. Thanks also to Rachel and Catherine for inviting me. I had a choctastic time!
I am flattered and excited to have been asked to take part in the Northern Children’s Book Festival (NCBF) again this year.
As a proud Northerner it is always great to have an excuse to return up north, especially for the chance of visiting some brilliant schools.
The NCBF is a very special festival, in my opinion. It goes to huge efforts to get authors into schools that don’t normally get those kind of opportunities. This always guarantees the most amazing welcome from the most excitable kids around. It’s such a fun event to be part of and is organised and supported by the hard-working librarians in the area. I can’t wait to get involved next week.
