I ran two drama workshops at the Roald Dahl Museum in February 2007 based on the Turkish story The Dance of the Eagle and
the Fish. 

    
         
   

I appeared with other author members of the alternative SAS (Scattered Authors' Society) at the first children's events in the Lowdham Book Festival during July 2005.

Children came to Le Petit Blanc restaurant dressed as characters from my books for the Sunday Times Literary Festival's story tea. The children looked fantastic in their fancy dress. I wore Silly Cat's bobbly antennae and springs. Click here for more on the book.
    
       
   

I ran a workshop for 60 children based on story themes, characters, and drama in the Turkish story The Dance of the Eagle and the Fish. This formed part of the 'School Days' programme in the Cheltenham Festival of Literature. The children taking part from three schools made it feel as though the eagle really soared and the sea really babbled and "a shimmering creature suddenly leapt from its depths, scattering salty water into the air."

Based on my work at the Festival I wrote an article for the TES
