I’ve been keeping a BIG Skandar secret but I can finally tell you the most magical news.

My class thoroughly enjoyed watching the latest Mr Dilly Presents with this fantastic four. Money in schools is tight and, geographically speaking, attending events can also be tricky, so being able to see and hear brilliant authors online is an absolute blessing. Very inspiring!

Just awesome... 📚💙 And that cute illustration!!! 💙
