Hannah Shuckburgh and Octavia Mackenzie – Archies Apple – Bridlit Kids

Children’s author Hannah Shuckburgh and illustrator Octavia Mackenzie will be reading their children’s book Archie’s Apple, a magical story about a little boy who discovers a new variety of apple in woodland and becomes the most famous boy in the world. This enchanting story, which Hannah and Octavia read aloud with accompanying bird noises, has much to tell us about the wild power of nature, and the value of noticing.

Suitable for children aged 4 to 9. A apple-themed art activity follows the reading. This event will be attended by schoolchildren from year 2 St Mary’s, but we welcome homeschoolers to join them.
