Invite me to your school for a day of workshops and events that will inspire children to read, write, draw, act and talk about their own stories and share them with each other. Fun, inclusive, engaging and educational. |

I was invited to work with a group of boys to write, illustrate and publish their own story, as part of the Improving Boys’ Literacy Programme developed by Neath Port Talbot Library Services.

With more time I can work with children over a number of days to create and publish their own picture book or design and make a mural for the school.

Read some stories written by children... 'It was a sunny day. The wobbly seaweed wiggled and waggled in the wavy water, the curly shells sparkled on the silky sand and the flippety, floppety fish flapped this way and that. It was a perfect day to go to the park.' 'From Little George's Big Adventure' |

What teachers say about my visits: “The children were enthralled right from the start. Thomas read his books with engaging props and brought them alive to the children. The workshops enabled every child to get involved and understand the creative process of story writing. We will definitely have him back!” Colin Thompson, Head Teacher, Broomhill Junior School, Bristol. |
