Stream: South London Book Festival

Tiny budding bookworms and aspiring authors will delight in this one-day event celebrating the art of putting pen to paper. 'Stream' literary festival, now in its second year, is aimed at children from nursery-school age through to young adults and will see a mix of talks, readings, workshops, book signings and competitions take place across the day. The current Children's Laureate Chris Riddell and Micheal Rosen will lead an interactive family session based on their new poetry book, 'A Great Big Cuddle', and other authors appearing including 'Horrid Henry's Francesca Simon, and YA authors Laura Dockrill and James Dawson with 'Twisted Fairytales'. Publisher Barry Cunningham, who signed JK Rowling, will lead a Story Shop session for budding writers, and there are workshops with Phoenix comics too. See the Stream website for more details and to book.
