Wonderful to welcome Welsh author @Manon Steffan Ross into college this week to talk to our Year 8s. Having written over 20 children’s books & 3 adult books, she shared her passion for the Welsh language & her culture that inspires the characters she creates. She is also a playwright, scriptwriter & musician.

Students are reading her book, 'The Blue Book of Nebo', as part of their LRC lessons and had some great questions for her. It won the 2023 The Yoto Carnegies Medal for writing. It was the first time in the 87 year history of Carnegie that a book in translation had won the award. Set in post-apocalyptic Wales & originally published in Welsh, it was translated by the author herself.

Diolch Manon am ymweld â ni!
