Kwame Alexander performance

We were treated to an electrifying performance from Kwame Alexander at the Bristol Old Vic. Hundreds of very excited children from local primary schools were captivated by the American poet: they loved listening to Kwame’s inspiring words, his poetry recited from The Crossover and his new book, The Door of No Return. There were loads of questions, and Kwame even had children AND teachers up on stage. I’m not sure who was more excited - the children, the teachers or the Children’s Bookshow team! It was great to see so many children clutching their free books as they went back to school. Thanks to everyone who came and for making this morning so special.
