NEW BEACON BOOKS OUTREACH WORK AT STROUD GREEN PRIMARY SCHOOL WITH AUTHOR JOANNA WILLIAMS ON 3RD MARCH 2022

It was a pleasure to introduce author, Joanna Williams, to Stroud Green School today. The vsist was part of New Beacon Books’ outreach work. Joanna is a local author and her slide presentation contextualised her personal connection to the area as well as her story, both geographically and historically. She then read extracts of her story ‘Ice and Fire’ which features in an anthology ‘The Very Merry Murder Club’. Her talent as a writer, experience as a teacher and ability to engage with children are just a few of the many skills she brought to the event. The pupils responded with enthusiasm and made insightful comments. The Deputy Head’s Harry Potter style attire brought some additional fun to the proceedings. Look out for Joann’s book ‘The Lizzie and Belle Mysteries’ due out in June.
