How did it go?
Acclaimed poet Valerie Bloom took the stage at the Shaw theatre in London on Tuesday 27 September for our first Children’s Bookshow event of 2022, our 20th birthday year! Valerie performed in the first Children’s Bookshow all those years ago, and her captivating performance explains why she is still with us today. Children joined in with Pinda Cake, We Don’t Laugh When Grandad Sings, Megastar Rap and many more. There were lots of questions, and every child received their own copy of Stars with Flaming Tails! Awesome!
