# Virtual author visit

  ![Image of Virtual author visit](https://files.schudio.com/alston-moor-federation-2/images/blog/author(1).PNG)  3 November 2023   [Bev Brown](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/author/bbrown)   [APS Reading Hub](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/category/aps-reading-hub)

We work hard to inspire the children to really enjoy reading and build a life long passion for books and at APS we do this in a variety of ways.

Today Cross Fell enjoyed a virtual author visit and joined Nicola Kinnear for a fun session inspired by her latest picture book, Ready, Steady Squirrel!

We enjoyed a story session with Nicola and heard all about Evie, a very determined little squirrel, we even learnt how to draw our own squirrel! Cross Fell loved it and can't wait to take part in another virtual visit soon!
