CHILDREN can enjoy a storytelling workshop with a best-selling Pendle author at Easter.

Children’s writer Katie Daynes has published 50 books including the bestseller ‘See Inside Your Body’ and a compelling book telling the true story of the Titanic.

She will be leading workshops at La Dolce Vita, the Italian deli in Albert Road, Colne, on Thursday, April 17. There will be a session for children aged four to seven from 10am to noon, and then for seven to 11-year-olds from 1pm to 3pm. Katie said: “I’ll be helping children to write their own stories with some useful story-telling techniques and then design covers for them.

“They’ll also see the journey a book makes from the blank page to completed book on the shelf which I hope they’ll find fascinating.”

Tickets for the workshops are £6.50 per child including Italian biscotti and limonata and can be booked via the deli on 01282 866008, on the deli’s Facebook page or by going in store.
