Having fun for Book Week
I need your help! I’m trying to get copies of Sophie Makes New Friends into school and public libraries.
As you know I’m a big fan of libraries. I was so excited when I was asked if I was interested in working in the library at the Central School and then the public library when we lived near Braidwood.
I’ve always borrowed books from my school library and the public library wherever we have lived. It was while working in these libraries that I started writing children’s books. It is such a thrill to walk into my local library and see You can do it Joey! and Sophie Makes New Friends on the shelf. Even better when they aren’t there as it means families have taken them home to read.
I would love you and anyone in your network who may be interested, to ask their local library if they would purchase a copy. Lots of libraries now have forms online for this type of request.
Kids who are starting a new school and feel a bit anxious can really benefit from reading a story written just for them.
Below are the details of the book and where to purchase Sophie Makes New Friends.
