March means warmer weather, daffodils, and, of course, World Book Day, which sees hundreds of children's authors rushing around the country, inspiring children with a love of books. Good luck to everyone who's on the road today.
Here's the round-up of our members' news. Please send me your items ready for April.
New out
A paperback version of Talking History: 150 Years of Speakers and Speeches written by Joan Haig and Joan Lennon and illustrated by Andre Ducci. The story of 16 world-changing speeches for 8-12 year-olds, published by Templar.
The Hamish McHaggis series is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year 2005-2025.
This iconic Scottish series, by Linda Strachan and
illustrated by Sally J Collins, follows Hamish and his friends Rupert the
hedgehog, Angus the pine marten and Jeannie the osprey, on their adventures as
they visit famous Scottish landmarks including Edinburgh castle, Loch Ness,
Glamis Castle and the Falkirk Wheel. As part of the 20th anniversary
celebrations Linda will be revisiting some of these amazing places to engage a
new generation of young readers. Families will have the opportunity to join in
the fun by taking part in Hamish McHaggis birthday parties and fun activities,
including downloading a Hamish McHaggis passport of their own. More information
will soon be available at www.hamishmchaggis.co.uk
School Visits Workshop sold out
Jo Cotterill will be leading an online professional development session on creating school visits in conjunction with the Society of Authors on March 14th. The session is fully booked but there will hopefully be more so if you're a member of the SoA, keep an eye out.
