Claire Helen Welsh - All the Animals Were Sleeping
Saturday 15th October, 2022
11.30 – 12.30 Children's Workshop 2 - Claire Helen Welsh
'All the Animals Were Sleeping'
Claire will read from her latest book, 'All the Animals Were Sleeping' and lead the children in some related craft activities.
On the dry, grassy plains of the Serengeti, a little mongoose makes his way home to his burrow. On his way, the mongoose passes giraffes, zebras, monkeys, elephants, storks, lizards, butterflies and cheetahs, all sleeping in their own unique ways.
This is a stunning, lyrical and reassuring bedtime story, perfect for young animal lovers, with non-fiction facts at the end.`
When Clare isn’t writing stories she is inspiring children to write their own. Being a teacher gives Clare an outlet for her BIG ideas. Once she helped a class make a giant rice crispy cake that was so wide it wouldn’t fit through the door!
But her best idea yet has been putting pen to paper. Clare loves writing whacky but is particularly passionate about writing stories that help children deal with big feelings and difficult issues
