School Visits
Ceci is a popular visitor to schools and libraries and is available for author visits, story-writing workshops or longer-term partnerships:
‘After selling many of your books [following your sessions], parents came to find me to tell me that remarkable things had happened in the evening. Children who normally get home from school and switch on the television had disappeared up to their bedrooms to read until bedtime. One boy who bought ‘The Mum Shop’ read to page 89 in one sitting. His mum told me this had never happened before; he is statemented with learning difficulties and they have struggled to encourage his reading. The teachers were delighted with the sessions and are hoping you may want to establish an ongoing link with the school.’
Overleigh St Mary’s Primary School, Chester
‘I thoroughly enjoyed your visit and so did the children. It was wonderful as a teacher to have the rare opportunity to watch pupils work for someone else. I can certainly give very positive feedback.’
Oswestry School, Shropshire
