Tyne2Seine @ Star of the Sea

As technical partners to North Tyneside and South Tyneside Library services we attended the first Tyne2Seine session at Star of the Sea school in Monkseaton, where award-winning book illustrator Kork Paul (Winnie The Witch books) wowed the children with storytelling and illustration demos.

Tyne2Seine brings 2 UK childrens' authors to local schools and to partner schools in Paris with reciprocal visits from French authors. The project brings the authors and children together for a whole day session at Gateshead CLC.
