Come and join Living Paintings & a selection of their wonderful supporters at Selfridges from the 11th to the 17th of February in their pop-up library. Listen to readings from authors who have allowed us to adapt their books for our younger library members, enjoy a session with an illustrator who CAN make a giraffe dance and sit back whilst one of our script readers brings to life a book that has been enjoyed immensely by our borrowers.
Words Words Words: ‘Celebrate the beauty of words, the joy of writing and the art of conversation at Selfridges. We create a place where people can come together through words, joined by writers-in-residence, captivating storytellers and surrounded by literary-inspired products. From world-changing quotes to whispered secrets, we all need words in our lives.’

Excellent news for Living Paintings. What a wonderful line up of our “friends”. I’m sure it will be a super event and I hope lots of children take advantage of it.

Can’t wait for Saturday when Ross Collins does his reading. He’s one of my favourite children’s authors – fabulous illustrations and witty tales. What better way to start this inspirational series of readings. Well done Living Paintings.
