What a fun time we all had with the lovely Holly Swain!

To celebrate Bookshop Day we were delighted to have the brilliant children’s author and illustrator, Holly Swain, in the shop for a special picture book reading and workshop event for her new book, Colin’s Grandma. This was greatly enjoyed by all the children (and parents!) and everyone left with a lovely little book they had illustrated themselves!
Mainstreet regulars will know that we are huge fans of Holly’s brilliant creation – Colin, the vegetarian vampire and his nemesis, Duck. The great news is Colin’s back and this time, Grandma is coming to visit…!
