Testimonials:
"Thank you, Shoo, for a brilliant day. We are all fizzing with excitement!! Every child really enjoyed your amazing talks – they are all reading your books frantically. They have been inspired and motivated, taking your advice to invent characters and use mind-mapping to write their stories, from the youngest child to the oldest pupil in school."
