Hodder Children's Books recently held a day devoted to David Almond at Seven Stories, the Centre for Children’s Books, based in the Ouseburn Valley, Newcastle, to celebrate the paperback publication of CLAY, now shortlisted for the Carnegie and the Guardian Awards.
A writing workshop began the day's activities, with clay modelling sessions in the Engine Room and readings of David's picture book - Kate, The Cat and the Moon. The afternoon was devoted to a schools session with an evening drinks and reading to round off the day!
Kate Stephenson, aged 12 said: “It’s been really good listening to his tips of how to become a writer and has really inspired me.”
