I was very lucky to have been able to attend the Piccadilly Waterstone's signing event by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler (Friday 11th September) to launch the much-anticipated Gruffalo Granny book.
The event was very well attended and was a truly magical experience with fans of all ages queuing to meet the Gruffalo, Julia, and Axel. I managed to get down to the special Gruffalo room displaying all of their books, as well as providing a unique space for storytelling activities for children.
To celebrate the launch, this event, and the fact that many people wanted to attend but couldn't, we are giving away a Gruffalo Granny first edition signed by both, which has also been stamped and dated for the event (see photo below). This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain a special copy and enjoy the third installment of the Gruffalo's adventures.
