Magic Happens when you put 13 children's authors together - the result:
I Want a Crocodile and Make it Snappy,
a collection of children's stories and poems.
Prepare to laugh, be inspired and conjure up a cauldron of
magic to stimulate a child's imagination.
We're pleased to donate all profits from the sale of
I Want a Crocodile and Make it Snappy to our chosen charity
Clapa,
supporting families affected by cleft lip and palate.
Richmond Community Poem
This poem came about because of a unique collaboration between 2 poets - Katrina Palmer and Kate Swann and members of the community in Richmond.
On one special September day as part of The Promoting Yorkshire Authors event held annually at The Station as part of the Richmond Walking and Book Festival - members of the community were asked to tell us their favourite things about Richmond.
The sights, the sounds, the colours, the memories and how they feel about living in this special town!
Between them - Katrina and Kate put the words together to form this poem celebrating the community’s love for their home town.
