What a wonderful morning at Banana moon nursery. The children were all so welcoming and after sitting having a snack of our shortbread biscuits and getting to know each other we very quickly settled into our book reading corner and read about Oscar’s adventures. Read More →

What a treat to come to the Merlin School for a wonderful reading today. To be met by the whole school at assembly was quite a shock for poor Oscar but he coped admirably and rose to the challenge, giving the floor to Angus the robin to take in his stead. Read More →
“A big thank you to Molly Arbuthnott for coming into Big Sky this week and reading her fabulous book “Oscar the ferry cat.” The children enjoyed every minute (especially the biscuits!)

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!”

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.
