CHILDREN'S AUTHOR
School Visits
I love school visits and sharing my love of writing and onomatopoeia with students.
All my sessions are interactive to ensure student engagement and I can run assembly or classroom sessions.
For younger students I have plenty of movement opportunities.
Some of my most popular sessions are below – please reach out if you would like something different.
