| With a group of year 2s |
I'm knackered. Yes, I've got those post World Book Day blues. Eight schools visited. Seven early starts. Twenty plus workshops. Eight author talks. Four story times. One drive through a blizzard, one drive through a semi-blizzard. (Alright, it probably wasn't a blizzard. Not if you live in, say, Canada. But to me it felt like a blizzard.) One bad cold. Three tubes of throat sweets. Countless cups of tea. Two photos in local papers. One box of forgotten books. Two schools where the technology went on strike.

A wonderful new library opened.
A chance to chat with inspiring teachers.
Talking with young readers to find out what they read, and why.
So yes, I'm knackered. But it was worth it.

Well done you!
That's exactly how it feels - but you do seem to have been particularly heroic in the quantity of your visits - and it sounds as though you've done some really interesting stuff in there too! Hope all this year's World Book Day "Visitors" are feeling happy with themselves - and maybe taking a bit of recovery time too?
Well done! I did six schools and I thought that was pretty heroic! It is indeed exhausting but also a great boost to get to meet so many lovely, creative and curious children, as well as some fabulous teachers.
