Had so much fun today playing, reading and creating stories!

Haven't taken many pictures, were too busy enjoying all the magic around 🙈🥰

Thank you very much for having us. Thank you Dagenham and Valence libraries for your hospitality. Thank you parents for all the smiles, compliments and amazing feedback. And most of all thank you very much to all little storytellers, explorers and adventurers who took part in our Read Play Create with BooksByMILE activities today! You all were brilliant!

Thank you to our own kiddies who inspired us to write about Turtle Arty all these years ago and keep inspiring and helping us all along this wonderful journey.
