Henry White is a children's author and comedy writer, the author of Too Many Tims and the Little Badman series. Drawing on his background in improv and comedy, he gets even reluctant readers and writers generating ideas they didn't know they had.
“That was brilliant. I have just been bombarded in the corridor by children who said they loved it.”
Your pupils will leave with
- new story ideas
- the confidence to write
- permission to be funny
- a proper author buzz
Who it's for: primary schools, with whole-school assemblies and writing workshops for Years 2–6. Every session adapts to the age group, your timetable and the size of the group.
Where: Henry is based in Bath and visits primary schools across Bath, Bristol, Somerset and Wiltshire. He's happy to travel further afield too; beyond Bath and the local area, travel is charged at 45p per mile, or rail at cost.
What to expect
