Year Two have had a fantastic time meeting Rashmi Sirdeshpande at the BarnesKidsLitFest. As well as finding out about her books and inspirations they were enjoyed being illustrators.

Wow! So many questions from the children and some BRILLIANT super hero drawings. Watch this space for the next generation of illustrators! Fab BarnesKidsLitFest event with Alex Falase-Koya and his incredible Marv series.

I'm doing a schools event for BarnesKidsLitFest tomorrow around the corner from my old sixth form. I wonder when I walk past if I'll feel a rush of 'haven't done my philosophy a level homework' panic...?
