Lauren Child at the V&A

My daughters have learnt to read from Lauren Child's books so were VERY excited when they heard she was giving a talk at the V&A and signing books afterwards. It was a whole day of craft and design events to celebrate the opening of the Sackler Centre. THere was so much to do, making wall hangings, jewellery digital photography and animation festival....It was great and I wish we'd got there earlier so we could have spent more time on each activity but the girls still enjoyed it and then of course Lauren Child. She was an absolute sweetheart even when we gave her a battered old copy of Don't Look Now she laughed and said how much she likes to see books in that state because it shows much it's been loved. Which in this case is certainly true.
