Liverpool Learning Partnership invites KS1 classes to join us for a Liverpool Children’s Festival of Reading online session with Chris Naylor-Ballesteros. This session is funded as part of the Our Liverpool programme and focuses on Chris’s book The Suitcase, exploring themes of sanctuary, refuge and empathy. The session will include a reading from Chris and a draw-along activity.
About Chris: Chris is a children’s book author and illustrator. His titles include the Kate Greenaway shortlisted The Suitcase and the popular Frank & Bert series amongst others. His work has been translated into over twenty languages. He grew up and lived in Bradford in the north of England, studying at Bradford Art College before moving to France many years ago.
About The Suitcase: When a strange-looking animal arrives pulling a big suitcase, the other animals are curious. What on earth could be inside that suitcase? A teacup? Maybe. A table and chair? Perhaps. A whole home and hillside with trees? This stranger must be fibbing! But when the animals break into the suitcase and discover a very special photograph, they begin to understand what the strange creature has been through, and together they create a very special welcome present . . .
