Owen Sheers and Helen Stephens performance

How did it go?

We had a magical morning with poet and writer Owen Sheers and illustrator Helen Stephens at the Wolverhampton Grand! It was the perfect way to get excited for National Poetry Day, as Owen read extracts from the lyrical Drew, Moo and Bunny, Too and Helen created accompanying illustrations live on stage. Told in enchanting verse, this is a story about friendship, adventure and… pirates! The audience was enthralled ✨ Thank you to everyone who came - we wish you lots of happy hours reading your copies of Drew, Moo and Bunny, Too.

Owen Sheers Workshop

After his performance with Helen Stephens at Wolverhampton Grand, Year 3 and 4 children from three lucky local schools enjoyed working creatively in workshops with Owen Sheers in their own classroom.
