“Grace and Luna her cat live in a shop doorway. They have only a few possessions but each one tells a story about their past and is very precious.
Stopping to talk on their way to and from school, Jess and her mother make friends with Grace and Luna. They swap gifts and stories and Jess learns of the home that Grace had to leave and the long struggle to find a safe country in which to build a new home.
When the snow comes and the days get cold Jess worries about what will happen to Grace and Luna. Luckily Grace finds a safer shelter for them where she can begin to build a new life. Jess’s brief friendship with Grace can open all children’s eyes to the importance of reaching out to those in need.”

"It was an absolute pleasure to have you come and visit. The girls thoroughly enjoyed your passionate delivery and were engaged by the interactive challenges that you set such as finding the dragonfly in the illustrations."

A big thank you from all the staff and pupils at Cabot Primary School for a brilliant day listening to stories, being creative and hearing about where you draw your inspiration from. We have many budding writers and lots of enthusiastic readers here and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Year 4 especially loved hearing the rest of Beast Hunter and passing around the giant snake, and years 1 & 2 had a great time spotting the hidden dragonflies! So thank you again for providing inspiration for our children and we look forward to having you visit Cabot again soon!
I wanted to write and thank you so much for your very successful visit to Barnfield School this week.
It was wonderful that you could spend time with every year group from Nursery to Year Six. All the children were inspired by your stories and enjoyed hearing you read them and talk about being a writer. You spoke in a way that captivated all the different age groups.
The children also loved the mask making activities as well as the opportunity to meet you after school to buy your books and get an autograph.
Barnfield Primary School, London
