The Children's Bookshow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Children's Bookshow is an annual children's literature roadshow which visits theatres and schools across the United Kingdom in the autumn.[1]

The Children's Bookshow was established in 2003 which was directed by Siân Williams, and it includes theatre performances by children writers, workshops in schools, and several competitions.[2] The 2016 Children's Bookshow consisted of sixteen separate events, with authors from the UK and overseas, including Michael Rosen, Valerie Bloom and Fabio Geda.[3]

In other years the tour has featured Judith Kerr, Quentin Blake, Kevin Crossley-Holland, Eva Ibbotson, Francesca Simon and Martin Waddell.[4][5]
