Before the holidays, all our children enjoyed learning about the world of work through a variety of visitors.

On Wednesday 30th March, we were visited virtually by 2 authors; Shirley Husband and Lindsay Littleson!

Shirley Husband is a local author who is known for her Harris McCoo books.  Shirley and her illustrator Maurice Hynds created the Harris McCoo series of books based on art works by Steven Brown Art.

Shirley spoke about her career as a children’s author and her process for writing picture books.  She answered lots of questions from our P1-3 children, and spoke about her journey into writing with our P4-7 classes.

Lindsay Littleson is an award winning Scottish author who writes middle grade fiction novels.  Our P5 class were even studying one of her books last term… “The Secrets of the Last Merfolk”.

Lindsay did a long Q and A session with our P4-7 classes answering a variety of questions from pupils about her inspiration for writing, how she became a writer and her favourite books.

Thank you so much to both these talented authors for inspiring our children!
