How did it go?
We had the most wonderful afternoon with Katherine Rundell and over 1,000 primary school children at the Blackpool Grand theatre!
Katherine told some fantastic tales about her life as an author, sharing where the ideas for her books come from and the adventures she has been on to research her writing.
She also gave the audience some excellent advice, encouraging children to pursue their own creative writing and to think of writing a book as an opportunity to talk to the people of the future.
Everyone left feeling inspired, energised and incredibly happy with their free copies of the bestselling book Impossible Creatures!
Thank you Katherine and to everyone who joined us for this wonderful event.
