A Visit from Banji Alexander
On Friday 15th December, we had the author Banji Alexander visiting. Banji Alexander is the author of the book Lockdown Looms: Reggie’s Birthday Party. His vocabulary-rich, fictional text was written specifically to help children conceptualise everything that all children experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Banji delivered a great assembly to talk to us about his journey to becoming an author and tried to inspire the budding authors we have here at William Byrd to follow their dreams to publish a book. We showed Banji how we had learnt sign language to his song ‘New King’. He was extremely impressed.
