Liverpool author teams up
with Children's University for latest book launch
A Liverpool writer has teamed up with
Sefton Children's University to help launch her latest book and inspire a
passion for reading and writing among young people. Bestselling children's
author and storyteller Jude Lennon will officially launch her new picture book
Pirate Lamby and his Woolly Crew at Write Blend bookshop, in Waterloo, on 19
September 2017, at 4pm. In partnership with the Children's University, the event
has been Validated as a Learning Destination giving youngsters the opportunity
to participate in learning activities outside of School. The former
Primary School teacher turned business owner will give a special reading of the
book, which follows the adventures of Pirate Lamby, and will be encouraging
children to write a book review to earn passport credits as part of their
learning journey with the Children's University. The book launch also coincides
with:- 'Talk Like A Pirate Day' so youngsters are encouraged to
dress up in their favourite pirate costumes. Pirate Lamby is the 3rd book in
'The Lamby' series to be published by Miss Lennon and follows
Astronaut Lamby and Floga with Flossie, which was released earlier this year and
reached number 2 in the Amazon Bestseller charts just 2 days after being
released.
Prior to the official launch Miss Lennon, owner of 'Little Lamb Tales,'
is busy touring venues across the City introducing children to her books. She
said:- "Pirate Lamby is already proving a hit with youngsters and I can't
wait for the official launch in September. It's fantastic to have once again
teamed up with Sefton Children's University for the book launch and I'm looking
forward to working with children on their book reviews so they can earn some
extra passport credits. A big part of the national curriculum focuses on pupils
understanding and comprehension and writing a book review is a great way for
youngsters to stop and think about the book they have read, the key messages,
what they liked or didn't like about it and whether or not they would recommend
it to friends. It's such a fun way to learn and really inspires a passion for
reading and writing."
Laura Grigsby, Sefton Children's University manager, praised Miss Lennon's work
and welcomed the event as a further learning opportunity for youngsters. She
said:- "It is great to have Jude Lennon and her book launch events as a
Learning Destination for Sefton Children's University. She has been a great
ambassador for CU over the years including being a guest speaker at our
Graduation Ceremonies. Don't forget to complete a book review to get your
Passport to Learning stamped if you attend the book launch. Enjoy reading Pirate
Lamby too!"
Prior to the launch at Write Blend, Miss Lennon will be giving an exclusive
reading of 'Pirate Lamby' and his Woolly Crew to pupils, at Norman
Pannell Primary School, after they won a competition. Then, on 27 September
2017, Miss Lennon will do an exclusive reading on the Wirral, at Concept Corner,
which recently opened in Wallasey.
