Coram Beanstalk BookFests
A group of children from Year 6 had the privilege of meeting Maria Motunrayo Adebisi, author of Kòku Àkànbí and the Heart of Midnight. We loved hearing about her childhood in Greenford, her lifelong interest in anime (the inspiration for her novel), and how her English degree at Oxford University gave her the confidence to begin a career as a writer. Maria was funny and kind, and signed bookplates for all of us. We hope she might visit Edward Betham soon!
Thank you, Coram Beanstalk, for inviting us to be part of this event.
