Dave Cousins

Energetic and funny! Two words pupils used to describe the award-winning author and illustrator, Dave Cousins, who entertained Ingrams this morning. Dave spoke about his life and the experiences that led him to become an author. Plenty of hilarious and lively anecdotes about childhood dreams, song writing and his own family’s misadventures fuelled his presentation. Dave also spent time with members of the readers group answering a myriad of questions from ‘Which superpower would you wish for?’ (to be able to fly) to ‘Which of your characters would you like to be?’ (the dog).  A real treat for Ingrams who have hopefully been inspired to pick up a book and escape into another world.
