Sita Brahmachari Visits Little Green

Today Sita Brahmachari came to visit Little Green to talk to us about her latest release ‘Where the River Runs Gold’. There was a real buzz around reading! It is always very special having an author visit because it allows the children to enter the imagination of a storyteller and to see the journey an author takes in writing a story. She came not only to promote her story, but to raise awareness for issues such as the plight of bees and how they play an important role in our ecosystem. She also showed the children how they could make a difference through making a ‘seed pocket’ to spread wildflower seeds everywhere they go. Thanks to Chorleywood Bookshop for their help in organising the event.
