How did it go?

We had a great time! Check back here for our write-up soon…

Yasmeen Ismail Workshop

This workshop will be a fun, hands-on creative experience for the children participating. Yasmeen will introduce herself, and start by reading a story. Then all the children will use paper, pens, glue and glitter to make their own favourite picnic foods which will be shared with the whole class at the end of the session on a big picnic blanket!

Praise for Time for Bed, Fred

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