I’m so excited to be visiting Kilkenny for the Bookville Festival! I’ll be talking about my Animal Stories and sharing lots of tales about my own animals and the inspiration behind my books. More details about the festival are here.
I’m back home now after a great week travelling round different schools and events for World Book Day. It’s always so brilliant to see everyone’s excitement about books and reading! I got to visit three brilliant schools:
And about sixteen more online, through a fab Museum Kittens online event with Tameside Libraries. One of the schools got to visit the library afterwards to find my books – I love these photos!
I also did lots of reading on a book barge moored at Camden Market! They had gorgeous book themed food, a butterfly (from The Very Hungry Caterpillar) on stilts, and a chair made out of books!
It was brilliant to see so many children dressed up as characters from my books too!
This is a fantastic Star!
It was so lovely to see Museum Kittens costumes for the first time!
And I got to help make museums with Sarah Lodge’s brilliant artwork:
We also had Jess the Lonely Puppy
Maisie Hitchins, with beautiful red hair!
A fabulous Rose costume, from Rose and the Magician’s Mask
And me! I love this one – I do wear a lot of cardigans and big necklaces…
Hope you all had an amazing World Book Day too!
Join me for a live Animal Stories event on Thursday 26th March at 10am.

I took this photo while we were recording a message for readers in Russia, but it’s very Christmassy, so I thought I’d post it here. Happy Christmas from me and Star!
