The Scottish Friendly Children's Book Tour brings authors and illustrators to a library, town hall or school near you.
The Scottish Friendly Children’s Book Tour takes the very best authors directly into schools across Scotland and the UK to inspire a love of reading, writing and illustration. We reach an average of 6,000 children every year in a vast range of different communities, from rural schools with 8 pupils in Mouswald to 400 seat theatres in Glasgow.
The programme has been sponsored by Scottish Friendly since 1998 and has toured (among others): Malorie Blackman, Michael Rosen, Jacqueline Wilson, Melvin Burgess, Steve Cole, Michael Morpurgo, Chris Riddell and Sophie Mackenzie.
