We recently had the honour of attending BookFest .

Our fabulous author Katherine Walker, who created the likes of 'Bee Kind', 'Vera the vegetarian Vulture' and 'Bruce the Moose' had the pleasure of reading her books to the children that attended.

The children had the opportunity to ask Katherine any questions they had about the books!

Thank you for a great day!
