My Books, My Story Celebration Event

The event came together through the work of the LCC Cultural Participation Team and the Virtual School to celebrate all the young people who contributed their stunning artwork to this project.

The children were treated to an inspirational, funny and engaging talk by Pippa Goodhart, one of the authors that inspired a piece of art and the creator of over one hundred published children's books, and were then presented with their artwork and a copy of the My Books, My Story art book produced to commemorate their work.

To top off an already memorable event, the 'My Books, My Story' project also received the Community Reading Champion Award at The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2022 the day before and is still in the running for two other national awards.

We’re very proud of all our young people who took part in the project.  The artwork they’ve created over the past year has been wonderful to see.  You should all be proud of yourselves!
