Children and young adults literature festival with lively storytelling and story-making…

Held in association with Firefly Press, specialist publishers of writing for children, Monty Minifest is delighted that Nicola Davies, the new Children’s Laureate, Wales will be headlining the event on Sunday 14 June.

Nicola Davies will close the Mini Fest talking about her books Skrimsli and The Song That Sings Us as well as telling us about her work as the Children’s Laureate, Wales.

Mini Fest starts with Storytime for the Under 7’s, followed by Sharon Marie Jones chatting about her Grace-Ella series of books featuring a young witch.

Rhiannon Oliver tells us about her debut poetry book for the over 8’s, Fresh, which has been wonderfully illustrated by none other than Chris Riddell.

Then we hear from Emma Rea about her book, Entangled, which is set in fabulous Venice.

All sessions will be interactive, with a chance for the audience to ask questions, and will be followed by a book signing session facilitated by Booka Bookshop.
