Schools Event - Meet Author Nicola Davies
Part of Tiverton Book Festival 2026: Children's Edition.
Nicola will tell her story The Map of Me - a gentle picture book about moving, making connections and mapping a better world.
When a young girl moves to a new country, her mum helps her draw a map to understand her unfamiliar surroundings. They draw the new neighbourhood, new friends and the special places the girl has found but important things from the past are missing like Grandma and Joe-Dog. So the girl makes the map bigger to include them. Soon the girl's friends are inspired to add their own stories and the distances between them all seem to shrink. Yet when misfortune strikes and the girl's world is shown to be less fixed than she thought, how will she learn to navigate change? Discover how we all have the power to create a better future.
An incredible opportunity for children to meet the current Children's Laureate of Wales, Nicola Davies. Nicola began her career as a biologist and studied geese, bats and whales in the wild. She worked as a presenter for the BBC Natural History Unit on programmes like The Really Wild Show, before becoming an author. She has written more than 90 books for children and young people, including poetry, picture books and novels. Her work has been published in more than 12 different languages and won awards in Wales, the UK, Europe and the US.
