Children's Book Show, England: "Stories from Around the World"
As mentioned in Corinne’s Calendar of Events for September, just started in England, and running until the end of November, is the eighth annual Children’s Book Show, which this year focuses on “Stories from Around the World.” As well as the exciting programme of presentations taking place in theatres around the country, this year schools have also had the opportunity to take up an offer of free workshops led by this fantastic line-up. Coming face to face with the creators of books is an inspiring way to encourage children both to read and to tap into their own creativity – and this year’s theme has the added bonus of broadening horizons and sharing in experiences from other cultures.
Oh, and there’s also a competition open to UK residents, closing date 30 November. And a little quiz of our own – who can spot which books are represented in this year’s Children’s Book Show banner – pictured above, but you might want to head over to the Show’s website for a better look…?
If you and your school have taken part in any of the activities on offer, we would love to hear from you…
