A children’s book author and illustrator is hosting Halloween craft sessions at an independent book shop.
As part of celebrations for Bookshop Day 2024, on Saturday, October 12, Kristina Stephenson will host two Halloween themed craft sessions at The Rocketship Bookshop. The sessions will involve making a monster in a jar, inspired by her book The Museum of Marvellous Things.
The event is part of an annual celebration of all bookshops across the UK, organised by the Booksellers Association’s Books Are My Bag.
