Julia Donaldson’s most famous book is
The Gruffalo, and she has also written around another 40 titles. Her fiction for older children includes
The Giant and the Joneses, which is to be made into a film by Warner Brothers, and the 'Princess Mirror-Belle' series. Julia has won several awards for her work including the Blue Peter Best Book to Read Aloud, the British Book Awards (Children’s Book of the Year, 2005), the Scottish Children’s Book Award, and the Book Trust Early Years Award.
On Tuesday the 13thMay, Julia took part in The ‘
Booked!’ Festival run by the Libraries Department of Educational Services for West Dunbartonshire. She sang songs and read to some very lucky children in Faifley Library – Edinbarnet and St Joseph’s primary schools, and Balloch Library- Haldane and St Kessog’s primary schools. Part of her session included acting out her stories and the children had great fun becoming spiders, gruffalos, parrots and monkeys!
