And from one of our favourite Children’s author’s Chris Riddell … an article from the Guardian about why reading and libraries are important for children …
… a British author, comedian, actor and talent show judge. His books, like “Mr. Stink”, have sold more than 25 million copied and have been translate into more than 50 languages! Walliams has won many awards for his writing and for his many other endeavors as well. He even swam the English Channel AND the Strait of Gibraltar (not consecutively) to raise money for Sport Relief! In addition to “Mr. Stink”, CEL has lots of Walliams’ books available to take home, like “Awful Auntie” and “Billionaire Boy”. They’re found in junior fiction, come check one out soon.
Over the next few weeks, my Friday activities will focus around Pirate Treasures. This week we’ll all work together to create a treasure chest filled with swag! Arrghh!
Tabea and Laura, our lovely volunteers from the International School will be joining us too to makes SMORES! Because PIRATES LOVE SMORES!
See you there!
