September saw the launch of a great new book aimed at the pre-school to seven years age group – Maya and Marley and the Great Big Tidy Up.
The launch party itself was as child-centred and vibrant as the book itself, being held in the very playground that inspired the story – the Hornimans Adventure Playground, Ladbroke Grove, in West London.
