It was so lovely to meet you today. On behalf of all of us - thank you so much! It was lovely for the children to meet a real author illustrator and also to do some art work with you. Sophie was engaging and calm in her assembly and workshops with the children. They all really enjoyed listening to the lovely story and having a go at recreating some using watercolours. There was a real buzz around the school!

"The children were thrilled to take part in this wonderful author visit by Sophie Bresnahan. They enjoyed listening to the story and thinking about their own magic inside of them. The craft activity was engaging and gave the children the opportunity to explore the beautiful original artwork for the book up close. A wonderful session. Thank you, Sophie!"

"Sophie’s visit was an unforgettable experience for the children. It sparked their imaginations, encouraged a love for storytelling, and left them with a lasting appreciation for the magic of picture books. We can’t thank Sophie enough for sharing her story with us and for offering such a thoughtful and engaging workshop. It was truly a day to remember!"
Hannah, Year 2 Teacher, West Hove Infant School
"It was so lovely to have Sophie visiting our Year 2 classes. Sophie shared some fascinating facts about mushrooms and fungi and the children were excited to learn more! The session, discussing the mycelium network, tied in beautifully with our Topic of the Rainforest. Thank you Sophie, the children were thrilled that you are writing another book about the moon and we'd love it if you could visit us again during our Space Topic!"
