Children's Book Awards Halifax Central Library

I spent an awesome day at Halifax Central Library yesterday - meeting some fantastic authors (Polly Ho-Yen, Gill Lewis and Nikki Sheehan) and lots of brill kids. We got to make up some fun poetry (rather disgusting some of it was too - the phrase of the day was the description some boys though up for Marmite - The Devil's Daily Spread!) and also listen to the authors talking about their writing, how they write, why they write, etc.

Here's one of the poems that was written by Ella and Isobella. Sorry, girls, I'm not sure which school you are from, but it was a great poem all the same...


Thanks to all the amazing staff at the library. And well done Polly for claiming the prize of best book (I knew you would - it really is a great book).
