Bath Literature Festival

3 October 2024

We have been lucky enough to go to four brilliant events at the Bath Children’s Literature Festival this week! On Monday, 30 children went to The Assembly Rooms to see Onjali Q Rauf talking about her latest book, The Letter with the Golden Stamp, and what it was like to be a young carer. And, with a quick turnaround, 50 children went to hear AF Steadman talk about her wonderful Skandar and the Unicorn fantasy series and helped her come up with a new unicorn for her next book.

On Wednesday, 50 children headed off to see Adam Kay and his illustrator Henry Paker – they showed us how to draw their latest character, Dexter Proctor! And on Thursday, 20 children went to hear performance poet and author of the wonderful book The Final Year – Matt Goodfellow!

This year, the festival gave every child who attended a School Event a free book signed by the author of the event they went to see!
