Balliol Primary School

@LizPichon Please keep writing books. The reason I love your books is because I love reading, but I love drawing too. Do you prefer writing the story or creating the illustrations? I'd love to know because I can't decide what I'd prefer. Maja.

@LizPichon My name is Brooklyn and I love your books because they remind me of my life. Instead of an annoying sister though, I have an annoying Uncle! My favourite book is Epic Adventures. Thank you, your books make me want to read.

The Year 6 'crew' were delighted to hear that the author of Brightstorm, Vashti Hardy, knew that we were reading her book. We are loving being a member of the 'crew'!

One of our Y6s was very excited to get a reply from the Paralympian Ellie Simmonds! She had read a book about her and thought that she was inspirational.
