Sypnosis

Author Christina Gabbitas put this initiative together voluntarily to give her purpose in lockdown, as all her school visits and events were cancelled. She wanted to give children and teachers the opportunity to pen how they were feeling in lockdown, and to share this with others.
Christina called upon a number of individuals to act as judges, who she has met on her journey over the past few years, including the wonderful actress Jenny Agutter, musician Michael Bradley of The Undertones, and entrepreneur Dr Stephen Fear, who are all patrons for Children’s Literature Festivals charity (1182143 England & Wales). All proceeds from book sales are donated to the charity
A special mention to PC Stephen Croshaw of Warwickshire Police for all his support and ambassador for the charity also.
