Testimonials

They’ve (staff and pupils) all been RAVING about you and how fantastic you are! We loved your energy, enthusiasm and your wonderful rhyming books which carry such a lovely message!

I had such a lovely day thanks to you. I’m glad the timetable worked and Kensington got to meet you too and have some of your magic.

Thank you for visiting Southfields Academy on Wednesday. The students and staff who were present loved the workshops! Your energy is infectious and I really hope we can work together again soon in the near future.

The workshop was a really fantastic session for the children and so relevant to some of their PSHE themes. The children so enjoyed the books and Clare bought such fantastic energy and enthusiasm.

What delightful books! The day of the Clare’s visit arrived and although some of the littlest boys thought they were meeting an ‘Orphan’ and some an ‘Arthur’ Clare, (the author’s) thoughtful and supportive tales really won the day as did the toy versions of Clare’s pet characters. With a fun, whacky but very meaningful presentation Clare had the boys joining in with slurping, shivering and most important sharing as they thought about feelings and difficulties in life and how we can manage them just as her lovable ‘pups’ did. Clare raised the game as the boys got older giving them great tips for their own writing projects along with more insightful work on thoughts and feelings. I’m sure that everyone will be looking forward to her next books in the series coming out soon.

We were delighted to host Clare Luther of Head2Heart books in October to talk to our year 1-2 children about her ‘Little Paws Hotel’ series. Clare has visited us before, and we were very keen to have her visit again, so two gorgeous new books was a good excuse to invite her back. Clare’s talks are a lot of fun. She reads a story, brings along some lovely stuffed toy props and really engages the children in a chat about what is happening in the story and how they might relate it to their own feelings. The children were keen to be involved and tell Clare their thoughts and ideas. I know we can’t wait to have Clare back to visit us again when she has written her next story in the series.

Clare captured the hearts and attention of our little ones from the moment she walked into the Oak Montessori Nursery. Her energy and enthusiasm kept all 20 of our two and three year olds captivated during her reading. Questions were asked and stories were shared. Clare’s books address emotions and wellbeing with natural flare and Clare bought the characters to life before our very eyes. The children loved their session and many left with their own signed copies, much to their delight!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for coming to see us at Kensington Prep yesterday. The girls absolutely loved it and it was so fantastic for them to meet you.

Thank you Clare, the children really enjoyed themselves. The staff were also very complimentary of your ability to engage the children!
