Would you like a
FREE
Afternoon STORY TELLING Visit
with children’s author
Jenny York?
What’s Included:
KS1 assembly
KS2 assembly
A free eBook for all children and staff before the visit
Chance to buy books at a discounted rate (£4 each or 3 for £10)
Why are you doing this?
I visit so many schools with so many different contexts and challenges. But my purpose is always the same: Change mindsets, raise aspirations, remind every single kid just how JOYFUL stories can be!
And is it really free?
Yes! I’d love you to tell families that I’m coming, share the free eBook and give kids chance to buy the books on the day. But even if I don’t sell a single book you won’t be charged.

What kids say…
I loved it when we could act your stories with all your dressing up clothes. My sister an I bought your 3 books and we have already finished reading ‘Nuts!’, it was so funny
I Love your books! I Just finished reading ‘That’s Rubbish!’ and ‘Tinselpants!’ they were so funny! I read them both in one day because I loved them so much!
What parents say…
We came to see you afterwards and buy a book which my reluctant reader, Micah, went straight home to read and then woke up early this morning to read some more! As he walked up the stairs to clean his teeth this morning he said, “You know mum, I think I want to be a teacher and an author when I grow up like Jenny, in fact I’m going to be an author today”. I was so pleased!
What teachers say…
I heard nothing but good things from children in every class during the day and my class could not stop talking about their favourite characters! I know that we will be able to use the books to encourage some of our previously reluctant writers in their endeavours.

The children loved hearing from Jenny York, children's author from Bradford. They enjoyed hearing about the characters in her books & had the privilege of meeting some! Jenny will be selling her books after school, outside the school hall, so there is chance to snap up a copy. pic.twitter.com/1QDBWXpQix
