Could not have been any better. Karen was so accommodating, engaging and helpful. We LOVED it.

Assisted us to change dates at last minute, professional as always.

John's presentation was interesting and at times humorous. It kept the kids engaged and wanting more of his "stories"

Presenter was very engaging and charismatic. Children were inspired. Even children who hate art were enthusiastic to be involved. Story planning content was very beneficial to engage children in writing. Fantastic work! Excellent.

Anne E Stewart did an amazing job today at the Library. Both the teacher and students really enjoyed her storytelling and were on the edge of their seats. Anne was perfect for Harmony Day celebrations.

The girls were so interested hearing Gabrielle speak. She was engaging, interesting, and we all thought she was so, so talented. Was a treat for us to have her.

I’ve never seen my students so engaged

Mark was wonderfully engaging and energetic. His performance style really brought stories and poetry to life, and the students were highly interactive throughout his session. The use of rhythm, rhyme, and audience participation kept everyone involved and excited. Teachers also commented on how well he adapted to the age group and inspired students to play with language in creative ways.

This was Jane’s second book week with us and more than met our expectations. We really enjoyed her presentation.

Rachel was excellent - we were so delighted to have her visit our school. A thorough professional, she was prompt, organised and kindly flexible when we had to change venue at the last minute. Her energy for storytelling is infectious, and as she read aloud, wriggly kids transformed into spellbound kids.

Emily's visit was a standout highlight of Book Week at Ascot. Her workshops were pitch-perfect for early learners: structured, playful, and packed with strategies that build vocabulary, voice, and confidence.
