Celebrating Difference with George Webster
George Webster has presented on CBeebies, starred in Strictly Come Dancing, and become an ambassador for people with Down’s Syndrome. Today he appears alongside his co-author, CBeebies and Something Special producer Claire Taylor, and illustrator, Tim Budgen, to share This is Me! – a picture book that aims to show every child just how perfect they are. In this LD-Friendly event, our friends from PAMIS join having been inspired by This Is Me! to share their own stories. Expect games, music, live drawing, and stories in this interactive, accessible event. Chaired by Sian Bevan.
Video from this event will be available on demand. Check back for a link to the stream after the event.
