The Children’s Bookshow is an annual tour of children's authors and illustrators from the UK and abroad. The theme for this, the 8th Bookshow, is Stories From Around the World, and there is an exciting line-up of award-winning artists to inspire school children with their enthusiasm and passion for stories.

This year is the biggest year yet. Through September, October and November, 12 authors and illustrators are performing in 14 different theatres around the country.

Many of the authors and illustrators are already household names, some of them may be new to you, but all are among the most exciting artists writing and illustrating for children today.

Free Workshops
This year there is an offer of 70 FREE workshops to participating schools. This is an exciting opportunity for children to meet and work with an author or illustrator in their own classroom. And every child that takes part in a workshop will also receive their own personal copy of a book by the relevant author or illustrator, free to take home with them.
