Marleen Lammers - The Boy and the Tree

Saturday 15th October, 2022

14.30 – 15.15 Children's Workshop 4 - Marleen Lammers
'The Boy and the Tree'

Marleen will read from her South African inspired story, The Boy and the Tree, and then there will be the opportunity to learn some fun facts about trees and make some leaves to go on the tree.

This workshop is most suitable for children ages 4 - 7.

Marleen (pronounced 'Marlayne') is a freelance writer with a newfound love for writing children's literature. She can't believe her luck that kids now get to read her stories, and she plans on writing many more.

Marleen grew up in the Netherlands, but moved around more than she ever planned to. She spent most of the past fifteen years in Southern Africa, where she worked with several nonprofit organizations. After a couple of years in Spain, she now lives in lovely Devon, England with her partner and their two boys.

While she's happiest when writing, Marleen also runs a couple of social businesses; a photography social enterprise and a company that arranges work placements with NGOs in Africa.
