Visiting Author Sophie Siers

Today we visited the town library to issue books. But we had a really big surprise. There was a visiting author called Sophie Siers who has a book in the NZ Book Awards as a finalist. It is called Allis the Little  Tractor. Sophie read us her wonderful story about a little tractor that is standing alone in a paddock and wants to get going like John Deere the big tractor. Toby and Uncle Jack finally get some oil, water, petrol and a new battery and get Allis going - you have to crank her to start the tractor. And away they go having adventures. It is an excellent children's picture book and we loved it. We got a signed copy for our school library too. Sophie let us ask questions. We had a great morning.

Nikki is reading us a great story called "Grandpa" before Sophie arrived.

Here is Sophie and Nikki.

Sophie read her wonderful story to us and we loved it so much that we didn't make a sound!

Mrs Gyde's Alice made the tractor on the wall. She is so talented. It made an excellent artwork
