I will be visiting The Golden Treasury in Southfields to do a Christmas craft workshop based on my latest book Paper Angels. It's for children aged four to eight and is on Saturday 11th December at 3pm.
I will be reading from the book before getting everyone to make paper angels for their own Christmas trees.
The event is free but places are limited so booking is essential.
