“Sharon was brilliant with our groups for Book Week in 2024! Engaging and entertaining with the children, with plenty of laughs along the way. The create-a-story process included excellent tips on character and setting building, with some lovely singing for the younger groups as well. We’d love to have Sharon back for more!” – Youth Services Librarian
