School Visits
Bring the magic of storytelling into your school with an interactive author visit from Mummy’s Fables. Through live readings, creative workshops, and playful activities, children are inspired to explore big ideas like kindness, honesty, and forgiveness.
Each session is designed and delivered by Mel Scott-Avis, Author-Illustrator and creator of Mummy’s Fables, and are carefully tailored to each age group (EYFS, KS1, and KS2). This allows every pupil to engage at their own level, making the visit both fun and meaningful.
Interactive, educational, and linked to PSHE themes, these visits spark a love of reading while encouraging children to see stories not just as words on a page, but as magical journeys they can be part of.
Packages
Mummy’s Fables author visits are designed to be flexible, with the understanding that every school has different needs, timetables and priorities. Mel works closely with teachers to adapt session plans, timings and activities so that each visit fits smoothly into the school day. Whether you’re looking for a shorter taster session, a half-day of workshops or something more bespoke, Mel can tailor the experience to feel both manageable and memorable.
To celebrate the launch of The Wizard’s Assistant, along with World Book Day and the upcoming National Year of Reading, Mel is currently offering a limited number of free author visits. Usual package rates are shown below for reference. Full visit details are available here: https://mummysfables.com/terms-conditions/
