Happy Here with Dean Atta, Patrice Lawrence & Yomi Sode
Join us for the launch of Happy Here, a brilliant new anthology of stories from Black British authors and illustrators. On the panel we welcome three of the writers who have contributed their heartfelt stories, for an event exploring the themes of joy, home and family that are woven through the collection. Get ready to be inspired to write short stories too, as the panel share their work and inspirations with UCL's Dr Melanie Ramdarshan Bold.
This event was filmed live at the 2021 Edinburgh International Book Festival. Some of the participants in the event took part remotely while others were on stage, in the venue.
