Children's Book Week August 2018 ‘Find your Treasure’ Denmark could not have had a more appropriate author visit, for Children’s Book Week this year, the theme ‘Find your Treasure’. We were blessed to host Davina Bell, author of a variety of children's books, she also works as an editor, helping other writers achieve their dream of becoming professional authors. Davina met with a range of children and young adults in Denmark schools. A versatile, humorous and engaging speaker, she connected immediately with her audience. Davina’s message of creating being awoken by a ‘spark’ and existing in the place where ‘real life’ experience, imagination and keen observation meet and followed up by a lot of hard work! Davina is a genuine ‘treasure’ and we loved having her. Thank you Davina. Download the Spydus Mobile app Password 6333
