Welcome to the Children’s Bookshow 2009!

This year we have picture books and poetry as our theme, and we shall be bringing the best writers and illustrators from the UK and abroad to 10 theatre venues around the country.  They include our 2007-2008 Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen, the brilliant writer and illustrator Grégoire Solotareff who joins us from France, and the wonderful writer and flautist Guo Yue, born in Beijing, who’s written Little Leap Forward with his wife Clare Farrow.  Malachy Doyle, Alexis Deacon, Jessica Souhami and storyteller Daniel Morden complete our glittering line-up.

Just click on dates and venues or meet the authors for more information on the tour.  For more resources on children’s books, click on our thanks page where you’ll find many useful organisations.  The competition page will be ready soon, watch out for a stupendous prize!

Alongside the tour we run 40 free workshops in schools with writers.
