“Dear Jason, You were amazing, so much energy and whizz, it was great to see the faces of people watching what was going on. I really thank you for giving us your time, it is so important to make the link for people between the books that they see on the shelves and the amazing people that write them. You were inspirational and have shown young children in Coventry what it is possible for them to achieve.”
