World Book Day

In the lead-up to World Book Day, a local school had invited Sharon Rose & myself in to talk about Nosey Rosie. And so off we set yesterday morning, with hats and books and stickers, and a vague sense of where we were going.

The plan was that we'd speak to two classes, but as we finished the school asked if we could stay and speak to another two. Opening up the floor to children is always a blast. The conversation and questions - as always with children - were surprising and delightful and unimpeded by limitations and expectations.
Will there be a Nosey Rosie cartoon?
It was my birthday yesterday.
Will there be Nosey Rosie dolls?
My name is Ava!
Will Nosey Rosie get a baby brother?
My granny has a magnifying glass.
Kept us on our toes. Then we talked about reading and drawing, knitting and crazy hats...

As we were leaving, the headmaster made his way through the throng of children to us, smiling: 'They tell me Nosey Rosie is very nosy'.

Word is out :-)
