St Mungo\u2019s Academy may not have a library yet (#refurbishmentIsTakingForever) but it\u2019s not stopping me to promote reading for pleasure as much as I can and with the resources I have (which are very limited these days…).<\/p>\n
So when I saw Scottish Book Trust opportunity to host a fully funded writer visit, I seized the chance and applied for the \u201c Talk including inspiration, writing journey and readings\u201d. I was really delighted to have been selected to host the writer Manjeet Mann as part of the Scottish Friendly Children\u2019s Book Tour.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019m glad to have started this new year with this event. Manjeet Mann stories <\/span>explore the refugee crisis and identity as well as <\/span>looking at freedom and rebellion. They are perfect topics to inspire young minds. <\/span><\/p>\n She shared her verse novels, “The Crossing” & “Run, Rebel”, and spoke about her journey to becoming a writer. She also talked about her charity, Run the World<\/a>, a not for profit that uses sport and theater as a means to empower women and girls.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2728\ufe0fWhat an inspiring morning with @ManjeetMann and @scottishbktrust<\/a> in our school! — St Mungo's Academy library (@stmungo_library) January 20, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
