Why? The culmination of the week-long festival also marked the 50th anniversary of the nursery school. The festival was inspired by the nursery's namesake, Kate Greenaway, a children's writer and illustrator who lived in Islington in the 19th century.
What happened? Smaller events and initiatives were run throughout the week. These involved children from the local secondary school writing their own stories and reading them to the nursery school children. The schools library service arranged for children's writer Cheryl Moskowitz and an illustrator to run a full-day workshop on writing stories and poems in each local primary school for children up to Year 1.
