Nanna Strawberry offers book readings, provides list.
Now that schools are planning their re-opening, Nanna Strawberry would welcome invitations to take part in book readings or group projects, within the protective guidelines against coronavirus.
Nanna Strawberry
stories were written by author Audrey Wilson when her first great
grandchild could not say 'Nanna Audrey' so called her 'Nanna
Strawberry'. This encouraged Audrey to write stories for children
by Nanna Strawberry.
The target was a series of twelve short well illustrated stories drawn from her experiences with children over the course of her long life. Each story has its own colour theme on front page logo and back cover, and contains an introduction to the background of the story.
Most have appeal for parents and grandparents too who can relate to similar tales, so two blank pages are included for readers to add their own experiences.
The titles achieved for series of twelve as follows:
Book 1 – The Magical Naming of Nanna Strawberry ...and a visit to the seaside
Book 2 – Nanna Strawberry makes a badge ...and has tea with Sophie
Book 3 – Nanna
Strawberry goes Horse Riding...and has a happy birthday
Book 4 – Nanna
Strawberry shares Christmas with an Angel ...and all her family
Book 5 – Nanna
Strawberry tells stories to Sophie ...and meets her baby sister
Book 6 – Nanna
Strawberry remembers the Young Queen ...and schooldays
Book 7 - Nanna
Strawberry remembers Easter Fun ...and egg rolling
Book 8 – Nanna
Strawberry remembers Billy ...Joan's cheeky strawberry roan pony
Book 9 – Nanna
Strawberry remembers Crabbing...and the Fun Machine
Book 10 – Nanna
Strawberry remembers Key Fishing ...and heroic Grandad
Book 11 – Nanna

Book 12 – Nanna Strawberry goes to a Wedding ...and bakes a cake

LAUNCH BOOK 12 at b,acm
Nanna Strawberry Goes to a Wedding.... and bakes a cake
Author Audrey Wilson writes of her recent participation in the School's Christmas Fayre, 13 December.
"It was lovely to be so warmly welcomed by pupils who recognised me from previous visits and several enjoyed buying another book from t he Nanna Strawberry series. I look forward to returning on 18th December to read book 12 to Assembly, then visits to each class, and enjoy two hour long workshops"
These stories began in 2016 after Nanna's great grandaughter, Sophie then aged 2, was anxious because she could not say Nanna's name 'Audrey' so called her 'Nanna Strawberry' ! Sophie was very relieved and happy when she saw that 'Nanna Strawberry' really liked her new name, so Sophie called it out very loudly all through their visit to New Brighton with Sophie's Mummy, Emma, who was Nanna's eldest grandchild.
So in January 2016, Nanna wrote her very first story, which became Book No 1 of a series of 12 stories.
The Magical Naming of Nanna Strawberry...... and a visit to the seaside'
Nanna Strawberry is thrilled that Mrs Anne-Marie Feriggan has invited her on behalf of Blackblow Brow School to visit on the 18th December to launch Nanna's final book 12 at the School Assembly, and then to follow this with a story writing project with children selected from two year groups, to discuss Nanna's Christmas traditions as described in Book 4
'Nanna Strawberry shares Christmas with an Angel... and all her family'.
The children will then describe their own Christmas traditions which they will write down to create their own story book with help from Nanna Strawberry. That is going to be great fun, very exciting! A lovely start to Christmas ! Thank you Mrs Ferrigan, colleagues and pupils for sharing your special Celebration Day with Nanna Strawberry. You all deserve a celebration for winning the Salvation Army's county-wide schools'
competition to see which was best at recycling ! The huge amount you recycled was F A N T A S T I C !!
When we think about it, writing about happy traditions is also a way of recycling them for others to share !
See you soon, love from Nanna Strawberrry (author and illustrator Audrey Wilson).
