A session at the Norwich Book Festival where Jarvis, author of 'Alan's Big Scary Teeth', teaches how to draw Bear and Bird and helps create a new companion, followed by book sales and a signing.
Jarvis is at The Forum on Wednesday 28 October, as part of the Norwich Book Festival. If you've got kids who like to draw, this one is right up their street. It's a session all about the world of Bear and Bird, the fuzzy and feathery friends that Jarvis brings to life.
It's not just a talk, either. The whole thing is hands-on: you'll learn how to draw Bear and Bird yourself, and then you'll get to help create a new companion for the pair. So the kids leave with something they've actually made, rather than just having sat and listened. When the session wraps up, there are books for sale and a signing with Jarvis, so you can get a copy signed on the day.
For a bit of context, Jarvis is the creator of Alan's Big Scary Teeth, so if that's already on your bookshelves, you'll know the kind of thing to expect here. This session is part of the wider Norwich Book Festival, which runs from 24 to 30 October across The Forum, with plenty of other events going on throughout the week if you're looking to make a day of it.

It's in The Auditorium at The Forum, and it falls on Wednesday 28 October, so it's a mid-week one. If you're taking the kids, it's worth keeping the rest of the festival dates in mind — the whole thing runs from the 24th to the 30th, so there's a good window to fit in other sessions if you're around.
