Authors, illustrators and books: Book Week 2019

What better costume for a teacher than one which promotes a love of books? I got really into the idea when I taught in a district that didn’t allow Halloween costumes and instead encouraged kids and teachers to dress as characters from children’s literature. We held a Book Character Parade around the school to show off our costumes and it was so much fun to see what all the kids wore!

From last-minute mum to award-winning MOTY

So your child has come home and gently reminded you that they need a World Book Day costume... by tomorrow. There’s no time to get to the supermarkets, you’ve left it too late to borrow from your more organised friends and you simply have no idea how to transform your kid into their favourite book character.
