A CHILDREN'S illustrator is set to bring her story to life through a special reading event.
Jennifer Mae Spooner will visit Stourbridge Library on Thursday, May 28, from 2pm to 3pm to read The Bow Wow Ballet, written by Gabby Dawnay and illustrated by Ms Spooner.
The book is described by its publisher, Thames and Hudson, as 'an adorable, creatively chaotic story about a troupe of canine ballet dancers who are getting ready for their debut performance'.
It is Ms Spooner's first picture book.
Following the reading, she will be making ballet dog puppets.
Jodi Wray, a librarian at Stourbridge Library, said: "This promises to be a lively, creative session that children will love.
"Jennifer is a hugely talented artist whose playful personality is reflected in the childlike wonder of her artwork.
"The event is free and booking is essential to avoid disappointment."
