Former Children’s Laureate Lauren Child’s ‘Clarice Bean’ books have been delighting readers for the last 25 years. Join Lauren Child in conversation with Jojo Silva to hear about her latest heart-warming and beautifully illustrated story in which the wonderful Clarice is thinking about all that is endangered : the big creatures, little creatures, plants and trees. But it’s not just the planet that needs help – there’s her whole family too.
Ages 7-11
Lauren Child is one of the most influential and innovative writers of her generation. Her creations include the popular picture book series ‘Charlie and Lola’ and ‘Clarice Bean’ as well as the ‘Ruby Redfort’ books for older readers.
The aim of Ealing Book Festival is to celebrate the joy of reading and to advance engagement and education around literature and reading. Through our events we hope to bring people and communities together; inspire and develop writers of all ages; showcase well-known authors and promote local writers, and grow book-loving audiences. The Festival team is Catherine Jaquiss, Alex Gerlis, Anne Elletson, Tanya Burgess, Nadine Thompson, Jeff Highfield, Ian Burge, Emma Walker and Natalie Arestis.
Supported by St Benedict’s School.
Please note that all children need to be accompanied by an adult.
