The Gruffalo comes to town

Spent a wonderful afternoon yesterday in Londonderry hearing UK Children's Laureate, Julia Donaldson and Irish Children's Laureate Siobhan Parkinson in conversation.

Well done Dog Ears for organising a great event.
Off now to 'follow the voice' to see how my newest character develops
