The Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour brings authors and illustrators to a city, town hall or school near you.
2009 Tour
We're kicking off the new year in style with a brand new tour featuring fantastic Irish young adult author Oisin McGann in the week of World Book Day!
The Scottish Friendly Children’s Book Tour, run by the Scottish Book Trust, is coming to North and South Lanarkshire during March 2009.
For more information contact Jasmine Fassl or sign up to our monthly newsletter, and check out www.oisinmcgann.com.
We have been touring children's authors and illustrators for 10 years now and have visited every area in Scotland. We bring all these famous authors to schools to talk to you and your friends, sign your books and answer your questions about reading, writing and their own work. Ask your teacher to get in touch with us and we might be able to come to your school soon!
