SEDBERGH SHEEPFEST 21 September 2019

I thank Sue and Matt for offering me a Nanna Strawberry book display and sales
table in their lovely  SMATTS DUO CAFE which always supply superb food and
never lets up on quality and friendly service. Please call in on Saturday 21 Sept
to see my Nanna Strawberry Stories series one, 11 of which are published,
No 12 still in progress. If you wish to buy one, they are £3.99 each, or 3 for £10.
Appealing anecdotal stories, well  illustrated on each page in a style children enjoy.
You may like to book a visit by Nanna Strawberry for a book reading at your
school or community group.  These are always well received and full of fun.
Call in to discuss.

This community Sheepfest  is great fun, well worth a visit and walk along Main Street
and St Andrew's church, some fantastic creations and fun for children all day.
All the town's business people and voluntary groups  'have a go' at creating an
amusing sheep image with themes to raise laughter and generally much admiration too
when displayed in or outside shop windows,cafes, pubs, church grounds, and elsewhere.
A quiz paper is available to complete the list of exhibits once you have seen each
of them. On show all weekend, from 21st SEPTEMBER.

Nanna Strawberry looks forward to seeing those along Main Street from 16 September.

KIRKBY LIBRARY THURS 15TH AUGUST 11AM

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME ALONG !

Nanna Strawberry described some of her books and read one of them,
'Nanna Strawberry Reads Stories To Sophie' to a lovely gathering of
children accompanied by parents or grandparents who all participated in
guessing the clues to the names of stories which Sophie had stopped Nanna
Strawberry from reading, because, for example,  "I do not l ike porridge" !
 Can YOU guess the title of that story ?

Children then enjoyed the Fairy Tale Quiz by Children's Librarian, Gerry,
and her Picture Quiz which they later coloured in.

Great fun, all free, enjoying books during summer holidays.

Nanna Strawberry was very pleased when some children became the happy
owners of one or more of her stories books. She always feels great when
someone likes her books enough to buy one of them !  The money will also
help her to publish Book No 12 'Nanna Strawberry Goes To a Wedding'.

Nanna also thanks Gerry for giving her a car lift to and from Kirkby Library
and for all her assistance. She donated three of her stories to Knowsley Libraries
in appreciation for inviting her to take part in their Summer book reading activities.

Love and bes wishes from author Audrey Wilson 'Nanna Strawberry' x

PRESCOT LIBRARY HOLIDAY QUIZ

Childnre's Librarian, Gerry, kindly collected Nanna Strawberry from her home
for the free holiday activity at Prescot Library.

We were pleased that Tabitha attended with her Mum. Clearly very keen on
reading story books, and hearing Nanna Strawberry read her book
'Nanna Strawberry Tells Stories to Sophie'. Tabitha took part in answering
 Nanna Strawberry's  questions about the fairy tales Sophie had stopped her from
reading.  Remember them?  "Do not like giants" "Do not like porridge" and so on.
Clever Tabitha guessed all the titles correctly.  Then she took part in the Quiz prepared
 by Ginny.  Again very successfully.  We learned that Tabitha holds lots of ambitions for
 the future... to be a fireman,  or one of several other professions.

Nanna Strawberry told her she thought that Tabitha was going to be a famous author.
 She was very good at creating characters in her mind, so could write some wonderful
stories about a fireman, or a doctor, etc. Despite only having Tabitha with us for this
holiday activity, we could not have had a more intelligent and interested little girl with us
to share our activities.

Thank you Tabitha, and your lovely Mum for all her encouragement to you.
Love Nanna Strawberry and Gerry.  (Next at Kirkby Library, 15th August 11am).
