Jenny Downham our first Guest Editor of 2011.
Jenny, mother to two sons, took up writing to use up the 'playful energy' she been used to expending when she was an actress running improvisation workshops and putting on plays to youth clubs, prisons and mental hospitals and we are very glad she did.
And, exclusively with Lovereading4kids, as our Guest Editor, Jenny has kindly agreed to share with us those books that have influenced and inspired her either as a child or during her writing journey. We hope you enjoy both her titles and her Guest Editor selections…
