School Author Visits

I love bringing stories to life in schools! During my visits, I share my rhymes with children aged 5 to 9, sparking laughter and imagination. I also give a behind-the-scenes look at how my ideas take shape and how the characters come to life through illustration.

For older primary pupils aged 9 to 11—especially those with a passion for writing—I delve into the journey of creating a book, from the first spark of inspiration to seeing it published.

In addition to storytelling, I offer interactive art workshops where children learn to draw some of their favourite characters from my books.

At every visit parents will always have the opportunity to buy a signed copy of my book for their children - a special keepsake from the day. If you are interested in an author visit please contact me here >

Some feedback from teachers and pupils….

Sophie Baber, Headteacher at Brookham School, said,

“We were extremely privileged to have Andréa visit Highfield and Brookham. She encouraged the children to have fun with language, and they revelled in joining in with the repetitive rhymes and a series of actions. The session greatly enthused them and boosted the confidence of our aspiring writers whilst helping them understand how books are created. Keep your eyes peeled for future budding authors! ”

“ I really loved the workshop that Andréa ran for us. It was so interesting, and we learnt all about the stages she went through to get her book published. The best part was seeing the stages she went through with the illustrations.”

‘Andréa really inspired me when she came to talk to us about her funny books. I liked hearing about how we too could become authors and have our own books published. It was very cool that we could get a copy of her signed book.”
