Today we had a special visitor, Children’s author and MBE for children’s literature Patrice Lawrence.
She spoke openly about growing up in an Italian -Trinidadian household and that as a young girl she saw that families like hers weren’t represented in children’s books. She told us about her wild imagination and the ideas that came from news stories for her latest book People Like Stars. Thank you so much to Booka Bookshop for organising this brilliant visit for us.
