From Space to the Shores

From Space to the Shores — S Y Palmer

In this summer’s  in-person events at Oxfordshire Libraries, I’ll be taking you from space to the oceans.

I’ll be sharing my May’s Moon stories and some of the super cool things I’ve learned about astronauts and life in space, before diving into Cornish rock pools, as I share my latest children’s book, The Shell Secret.

I couldn’t be more delighted about taking The Shell Secret to my local libraries first and and I’m excited to be bringing some exclusive pre-retail copies with me.

 

The Shell Secret by Sue Palmer

Summer Reading Challenge – Story Garden

I’ll be continuing my support of the Summer Reading Challenge as I bring the coastal garden of the shore and rock pools to libraries.

Find out about the amazing life on our shores, in particular some weird and wonderful rock pool creatures.
I’ll share some of my research for The Shell Secret, strange-looking creatures I never knew
existed, some ingenious survival tactics and my collection of special shells.
For anyone who likes beaches, adventure, the unusual and ice cream.
