To celebrate World Book Day we would like to share To celebrate World Book Day we would like to share ‘Mrs Smith Stays Put’. This is our favourite story written by Joel Stickley, the book is a poem which is all about Mrs Smith and her cottage. The book is illustrated by local school children and Grevatte and Co helped to bring the story to life with collages made from vintage papers.
