Description
Being true to who you really are is so important and as we celebrate this on this weekend of free, feel-good family activities join us for this exciting, interactive meet the author session – when life gets dark you have to let yourself shine!
Join Glitter Boy author Ian Eagleton and meet James, the hero of our story. James loves dancing, poetry, and Mariah Carey (not in that order, though, because Mariah would obviously be first!). His teacher, Mr Hamilton, is getting married to his boyfriend and it seems that James will be part of a surprise choir performance at the wedding.
But James’s father seems uncomfortable about this, and a lot of other things – like any mention of Mr Hamilton, and how James talks about his new friend Joel. The secrets are building up, and James is starting to doubt himself. Can he find the strength to let the truth out?
best suited to ages 8+
