Onyinye Iwu - Illustrator and author talk

'Who’s your favourite book character?’ It's a simple question which children are often asked. Finding a character you like and who might be living a life like yours is one of the most powerful reasons for enjoying a story.

Join award-winning children’s book illustrator and author Onyinye Iwu, Granary CEO Kate Romano and Arts Producer Jess Henry for a discussion about the books that shaped our childhoods, and why representation in children's literature matters.

Onyinye's current project is a children's book about African Queens; take a look at her BBC interview.

This event is connected with the Ladybird Exhibition.
