Ymddiheuriadau, rydym ychydig yn hwyr gyda'r post hwn oherwydd gwyliau!

Cawsom sesiwn mor anhygoel gyda'r darlunydd, Ian Morris. Roedd y plant yn ymgolli yn y sesiwn ac rydym yn credu y byddwch yn cytuno, wedi creu dreigiau gwych!

Apologies we are a little late with this post due to holidays!

We had such an amazing session with illustrator, Ian Morris. The children were incredibly absorbed and we think you will agree, created some fantastical dragons!

Got a Morrisons near you? Keep reading (literally)!

We teamed up with them to create a Kids Corner in every Morrisons supermarket. These activity stations are full of books, games, and puzzles, turning every shopping trip into a fun, educational adventure.

The cost of living crisis has hit families hard - with 1 in 5 parents saying that they are now buying fewer books for their children because of tight finances. Children without books miss out on the many benefits of reading for pleasure - from wellbeing to better results at school. Thanks to Morrisons, more children can keep reading over the summer holidays.

Plus, don’t forget about the Kids Eat Free offer in Morrisons cafés – a delicious treat for kids with any adult meal over £5. 🍽️

Illustrator of several critically-acclaimed children's books, including The Library Book, Red Sky At Night Poet's Delight and Alfie's First Fight, Ian's work has been described by former-Children's Laureate Chris Riddell as 'glorious'.

At Story Club, Ian will deliver a fun, interactive and very special live-drawing experience. It's definitely not one to be missed!
