litfest Author visit inspires students

30 January, 2025

Students in Year 5 at Jumeirah and Years 5 and 7 at Ranches were fortunate received an unforgettable and inspiring visit from award-winning British author Vashti Hardy during the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature.

Students were captivated by Vashti’s discussion about her book, “North and the Only one” – a thrilling adventure interwoven with themes of humanity, technology, and family. Vashti’s insights into her writing journey and character development further fueled our students’ creative passions, encouraging them to explore their own storytelling talents. 

The book signing session added an extra layer of excitement, leaving our young readers inspired and eager to pen their own stories.
