Molly came to spend the afternoon with my Year One class at my school in Hackney, London during summer term 2019.
She came very prepared with lots of fun props for the children to interact with and nice story boards for the interactive whiteboard. The children loved her stories and had lots of questions for her afterwards!
They have spoken about her visit for some time… and the delicious cat-shaped biscuits she brought too!

“Molly was brilliant when she visited our school. She took the time to meet with our children and shared her stories animatedly with the children. She has been a real inspiration encouraging many of our children to be authors themselves. Thank you!”

I’ve spent a lot of my adult life pining to be somewhere I’m not. It is so easy in our modern world, bombarded with social media, to believe that our life isn’t good enough – that if we move somewhere else we may find the job/lifestyle/partner/perfect existance we have always craved.
But, I gradually realised that my life was not radically different wherever I was in the world and what really needed to change was my outlook.
I am not even remotely attempting to state a claim to a persons happiness but certainly, I have found, that if you can find a job you enjoy, a few friends, a few hobbies, a few clothes you like and a roof over your head then the grass is always green wherever you are.
The floating bookshop really was the most wonderful venue to do a reading. This incredible venue is the most unique bookshop in London that I know! An oasis of peace and calm right next to Kings Cross station!
So much to explore both inside and outside and run by the warmest people, it was an absolute joy from start to finish.
Following a very generous introduction I sat on the roof and read my stories to an appreciative audience up and down the canal.
Luckily the sun shone and Oscar and me had one of the nicest days.
A lovely excuse to discover all the local authors from the area! We all had two minutes to talk about our book! It is amazing how much you can say in two minutes if you speak quickly enough- somehow I was able to cover the basic plot, characters, story line, charities, inspiration and hope for the future, just!
Luckily Sipsmith Gin were on hand to offer a much needed reviving gin and tonic afterwards.
What an honour to have been included in the book festival by Chiswick and a beautifully organised event by all involved.
This is a test
