The international children’s author Simon Adepetun will visit St. Barnabas Primary School, Blackburn at the start of March. A short reading of his book ‘The Bee Hive’ will be a part of the visit. A father of three, Simon is an accomplished storyteller. His background in English studies and Theatre Studies has helped him create characters that are very entertaining for children. In the book, children meet a young boy named Daniel Jeremiah Chambers, who has some issues with his family. His parents hardly ever listen to him. He has a sister but she may be from another world and only wants to play with dolls. His friend Benji is not as bad as his family. Together, they find a map that leads them towards serious trouble. Two men come to claim what is theirs and for Dan the problems just keep on coming.
