Stitched Together: Family, Friends and Dreaming Big with Laura Dockrill & Sara Ogilvie
Laura Dockrill’s touching new book Sequin and Stitch tells the story of Sequin, who looks after her baby brother, Stitch, while their mum works at her sewing machine late into the night. But this little family’s world changes forever when tragedy strikes and Sequin is forced to confront the biggest loss of all.
Hear an extract from this thought-provoking novel and watch as illustrator Sara Ogilvie live-draws some of her beautiful illustrations, in an event exploring dreams, growing up and the importance of those closest to us. Sequin and Stitch is a super-readable book published by Barrington Stoke, and is particularly suitable for reluctant readers and young people with dyslexia.
This is a pre-recorded event.
