Author Visit
✏️📚 We were delighted to welcome author and illustrator Carly Geldhill for a special assembly with our EYFS and KS1 children today!
Carly introduced the children to her new book, Pencil's Best Story Ever, and shared what it’s like to be an author. She explained how stories are planned, exploring the importance of a beginning, middle and end, and gave the children an insight into the creative process behind writing and illustrating a book.
The children were fully engaged throughout the session and asked lots of enthusiastic questions. It was lovely to see their curiosity and excitement for storytelling.
Carly will be painting the windows of Maldon Books with illustrations inspired by her book – be sure to keep an eye out for the fantastic artwork!
Thank you, Carly, for such an inspiring visit and for encouraging our young readers and writers. 📖✨
