Learners of grade P4 read the story “Chrysanthemum” written by Kevin Henkes and reflected upon the same by expounding on the noticeable learner profile. Chrysanthemum was caring because she didn't use to shout and talk rudely to anyone. When she was old enough to go to school, her friend used to tease her, but she did not do anything bad to her friends. She was never stubborn and always listened to her parents. That's why she was also called the "Lovely girl". Namirah Khan Chrysanthemum was caring because she cared about people's feelings.

  • Lauren Child
    Lauren Child Author Program In-depth Interview Insights Beyond the Movie Lauren Child, interviewed in New York, New York on April 20, 2006 while on tour from England. TEACHINGBOOKS: Your first book for children, Clarice Bean, That’s Me began what’s become a very successful career in children’s books, including, among others, your Charlie and Lola series, which is now a Disney television show. Where did you get your start? LAUREN CHILD: Early on, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I definitely knew it would be something to do with drawing. I could never quite commit to one thing because I thought it would prevent me from doing something else that I really wanted to do. If I wanted to be a furniture designer, then that would mean I couldn’t be a textile designer or I couldn’t be an illustrator or I couldn’t have ideas for film or TV. I even had a lampshade-making business for a while, where a friend and I taught ourselves how to make lampshades and we found all these really interesting fabrics, and made limited edition lampshades. Somebody pointed out to me that a lot of what I was interested in was children focused. She said, “You’re very interested in children’s products, children’s TV, and children’s books, so maybe you should think about doing a children’s animation or something.” Then she said, “Why don’t you write a children’s book, because it can serve as a calling card; you could maybe talk to an animation company about your idea.

The Duchess of Cornwall welcomed the current Waterstones Children’s Laureate, Cressida Cowell, and four former Laureates, Jacqueline Wilson, Julia Donaldson, Anthony Browne and Chris Riddell this afternoon, where they discussed, amongst other things, the importance of libraries, sharing the powerful experience of reading aloud and how books inspire children to unleash their creativity. Cressida Cowell, Waterstones Children’s Laureate 2019–2021, said: “It was so kind of The Duchess of Cornwall to invite our League of Laureates to tea. She has been a staunch champion of literary causes and charities for so many years, and it was an opportunity for us to say how very grateful we are for her support. Over tea in the Garden Room, we discussed the invaluable role of libraries in both schools and communities, and why it is so important that every child has access to books and can experience the transformative magic of reading.” The Waterstones Children’s Laureate is managed by BookTrust, the UK’s largest children’s reading charity, and sponsored by Waterstones.
