Owl Babies is going on a tour…of Bradford Libraries! 

Throughout Easter, Sian Williams and I will be presenting a magical, playful story performance, for free, at libraries throughout the Bradford District. 

Watch baby owls, woodland creatures and a grumpy magpie come to life through puppetry and storytelling - inspired by Martin Waddell and Patrick Benson’s classic book, for children and families of all ages.

The show forms part of Reading Pictures: Seeing Stories, a festival of visual literacy created by ASCEL (The Association of Senior Children’s and Education Librarians) Yorkshire and Humber branch, supported by the Arts Council.
