Author visit: Tamsin Mori

Last month, two of our member schools were lucky enough to have a visit from Tamsin Mori, author of ‘The Weather Weaver’ sequence. Wonderfully atmospheric, these books are fabulous adventures, perfect for reading aloud and exploring in depth. They romp along at a pleasing pace, with wonderful descriptions, full of myth and magic and the beauty of nature. Stones absorb all sorts of things…our connection to the world around us is beautifully celebrated, reminding us to pause, pay attention- and enjoy!

The children loved hearing Tamsin speak and being introduced to her books. One class teacher said, 'The children were captivated by Tasmin as she talked all things weather! Some of the children were particularly interested and impressed with the writing process - that the drafting and editing process can be as important as the writing bit took them all by surprise.'

Many thanks to Tamsin for joining us and inspiring so many children. Thanks also to Alistair from ‘Books on the Hill’ in Clevedon for providing copies of the books!
