Children's author Jacqueline Wilson visits Wolverhampton school on day new book is published
Students at a city school were treated to a morning of wonderment and fun as they enjoyed a visit from a world-renowned author.
Wolverhampton Grammar School welcomed Dame Jacqueline Wilson on Thursday as part of World Book Day, where she met 450 children from 12 schools, many of whom were dressed as well-known characters from her books such as Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather.
Wilson is a former Children’s Laureate and, in 2008, she was appointed a Dame.
As one of Britain’s best-selling and most beloved children’s authors, she has written more than 100 books, selling more than 40 million copies worldwide.
The event was extra special, as it marked the release date of her latest book. ‘The Girl Who Wasn’t There’.
