Special storytime with children’s author Susannah Lloyd
June 20 @ 10:30 – 11:00
We are delighted to announce a very special storytime with children’s author Susannah Lloyd, the writer of Here Be Dragons, The Terribly Friendly Fox and This Book Can Read Your Mind. Susannah lives in Yorkshire with her family and loves reading stories to her two sons. Picture book sections in libraries and book shops are her happy place. Susannah will be reading from her new book ‘Here be Giants’.
HERE BE GIANTS! Where? That’s the question in this laugh out loud picture book! All the
knights in the kingdom say our hero, a hapless knight, could never track down a giant but little do
they know our knight has just come across a most fortutious find – a book with all the tips he needs
to help him find a giant! With his long-suffering horse, and his nose in his precious “How to Spot
a Giant Before He Spots You”, the knight sets off to find a giant. He looks out for BIG things, but
all he can find are tiny forest creatures and an exasperated damsel who are all too much small. Next,
he tries going UP. He obliviously passes a beanstalk and scales a great rock instead (the giant’s leg).
Will this unobservant hero see what’s in front of him before it’s too late? Young readers will love
the easter eggs and “he’s behind you!” feel of this laugh-out-loudfollow-up to Here Be Dragons!
