Cat was very professional and the students engaged throughout each session. One student even advised their teacher that it was the "best lesson ever!" Cat verbally praised each student and gave time for each student to share their answers with their peers, which thus boosted their confidence. A great day was had by all.

Thank you Lou for a fantastic visit. The communication beforehand was very efficient and we loved receiving books to read before your visit. You were very adaptable and the children (and staff) loved the sessions. Thank you so much for making our book week so special!

We had Mark visit our school to deliver a whole school assembly and then workshops for different year groups. To say the children enjoyed it would be an understatement!
During the assembly both children and staff were fully engaged, even up and dancing at one point! His use of language and story telling ability truly captured their attention and imagination.
Throughout the workshops, you could hear a point drop. The children were fully engaged in learning how to draw a dragon which they then took back to their class to use as a writing stimulus.
The day was a thorough success, including the book sale at the end, and I would highly recommend a visit by Mark to any school!

Seth joined us for two days at three campuses. Over the course of both days, Seth led an online assembly, delivered several writing workshops, and judged a competition we had been running as part of our World Book Day celebrations. Seth was professional and flexible, and his delivery was pitched perfectly to meet the needs of our pupils. Pupils engaged well with him and enjoyed asking a variety of questions. We would highly recommend Seth to other schools.

John helped celebrate World Book Day in our school by enriching the children with fun pop-up book ideas which the children loved! The children watched his videos beforehand and were very excited to create their own versions. John clearly modelled how to create the pop-up pages and the children couldn't wait to get started. John even catered for the Reception classes by showing his drawing skills and reading his amazing stories. The workshops made reading fun and staff/children loved the fun and engaging workshops.

Thank you so much for facilitating Fabi visiting our school. Fabi spoke to a range of children from our nursery to Year 2, preparing different activities suitable for each year group. She was engaging and inspiring, the children in year 2 especially loved creating their own animals and hearing her thought process for writing. She taught some children how to draw a dinosaur, the reception children’s efforts were very impressive! Fabi’s message of resilience was particularly inspiring and something as a school community we feel very passionate about. A huge thank you to Fabi and contact an author for a brilliant world book week experience.
