Jane Hissey is the author and illustrator of over 25 'Old Bear' books and the creator of the BAFTA-award-winning TV series of 'Old Bear Stories'. At this event, within the magical setting of Brighton Toy Museum, Jane will introduce her original, soft-toy characters, read from her books, show some of her original artwork and tell her young audience how she writes and illustrates. She will then host a healthy teddy-bear's picnic lunch where there will be an opportunity to participate in bear-related crafts to take home at the end of the day. Children are welcome to bring one well-behaved bear.
