A CHILDREN’S author says he is on a one-man mission to get youngsters not just loving books but writing them too.
Larry Hayes recently published his new book How To Be A Kid Boss, and is offering free creative writing workshops to schools in Reading and Wokingham.
The book has been described by The Bookseller as “Packed full of surprising and informative facts”. The citation adds: “This subversive yet erudite book wittily illustrated by Joelle Dreidemy, is so much fun children won’t realise quite how much they are learning.”
It was published earlier this month and contains 101 secrets for children and aims to be a guide to growing up with a mixture of wacky and wonderful activities.
Larry says he is offering 50 free workshops, and any primary school in the area can apply for them.
Suitable for school years 3, 4, 5 and 6, the sessions run for between 50 minutes and an hour, and are a creative writing workshop with a live action Choose-Your-Own-Adventure session where children get to make all the decisions.
He says: “It never fails to get the whole class engaged and involved in creating (and acting out) a unique new story.”
