Testimonials:

"Zehra came to Horsham to work with a group of thirty Year 5 able writers from local schools. The children were fascinated by the process of producing a picture book story for younger children. Zehra’s ideas and drawings were an inspiration to them. They planned, and started to create, their own picture books, which they were keen to take home to finish. I would thoroughly recommend a visit from Zehra." – Vee Willis, North Heath School, Horsham

“Our children enjoyed planning stories with Zehra and it lead to the children enthusiastically writing their own stories. Some of our reluctant boy writers were most inspired as they were enthused by the idea of planning their work through drawings.”  – Maureen Basford, Abbots Ripton Primary School

“We have been so lucky to have Zehra Hicks being able to run some fantastic author events at Epsom Library.  Not only does she entertain the crowds with her animated story telling, she does craft events with the children and engages enthusiastically with her audience.”  – Julie Hudson, Epsom Library

"Year 1 loved Zehra's books and the classes had lots of questions to ask her about how she wrote and illustrated her stories. Her enthusiastic manner inspired the children to develop their own ideas and they learnt about the importance of drafting in the process of authorship. An exciting and valuable learning experience!" – Helen Vidal, Stamford Green Primary School
