In June 2020, Frances was announced as the Author in Residence for Inspire and commissioned to work alongside Artist in residence Erin Fleming to produce digital resources for children and young people to encourage reading and creativity throughout the summer.
Together, they created the digital book In Residence, all about finding ways to tell stories and use your imagination even if you can’t leave your home. You can read it here!
And if the book inspires you to get creative yourself, you can find all sorts of activities and ideas in the accompanying videos and how-to guides.
Here are Frances and Erin talking about the residency:
Inspire also asked if Frances could read a couple of her books for people to listen to at home:
