Books Books with Schools |
Barny Books has
been going into schools now for many years.
We, or a writer, take an idea into the school and the children will then take
the active role. They are divided into groups (writers, editors, illustrators,
publicity etc), working with the writer to produce a book from beginning to
the final end product, designing the cover and layout of the book as well
as deciding on the content, along with organising a book launch and recording
sales. The scheme fits in
to the National Curriculum.
