Yasmeen Ismail performance
Join us for a morning of interactive stories and illustration with the award-winning illustrator and author, Yasmeen Ismail. Children will love watching Yasmeen draw live, and listening to some of her stories. Yasmeen will share secrets of her work: the materials she uses to create her books, where she gets her ideas and her top tips for budding writers and illustrators. There'll be time for the audience to ask questions, and every child attending gets a free copy of Yasmeen's book Time for Bed, Fred to take home and keep.

Praise for Time for Bed, Fred
Somehow, one look at Ismail's shaggy dog, Fred, is enough to make readers grin...

The Bookshow with Yasmeen was absolutely brilliant! The children loved every second and were so engaged by the performance. They all wanted to be in the afternoon session and felt very inspired to draw and write. They loved getting their own book - I think this was a real highlight for them! Most of the class then went home and used it as their bedtime reading, sharing it with their family.
The details
- Please arrive at the venue at least 20 minutes before the start of the performance, so that you have enough time to find your seats and and use the bathroom. Our start times are strictly governed by the theatres that we work with and by the start and end times of the school day. If you are unavoidably delayed, please get in touch with your Children’s Bookshow contact as soon as possible.
- Depending on the time of the performance, you may want your children to bring a packed lunch. (Please contact the theatre directly to check if there is a suitable space.)
- Parking facilities vary from theatre to theatre; please check the theatre website for details.
- Please contact the theatre directly for risk assessment information.
- Please ensure your children have visited the bathroom before the show starts, or ask them to wait until after the performance ends. A constant stream of children getting up to go to the toilet is very distracting for our performers and other members of the audience.
