Popular storytellers Lea Parris-Cambridge and Rebekah Greenhalgh need no introduction to the children of Slough.

So when International Children's Book Day was celebrated at the new Curve library and cultural centre they were popular guests.

Lea Parris-Cambridge already reads her stories at the Curve every Wednesday and every other Saturday.

She has a whole range of books about animal friends who live on 'Mango Island' that she created and illustrated herself.

She wrote Dusty Donkey and The Big Yellow Toothbrush - the story of a donkey given a toothbrush by his mother who does not know how to use it.

His friends teach him how to brush his teeth and he gains the confidence to smile.

Mrs Parris-Cambridge has been concerned like many other mums about children’s tooth decay. So she wrote the book. She said: “I felt compelled to share a useful tool that could make a difference.

“Something I created to encourage my own little one to have fun while brushing her teeth could help so many other mums and dads in encouraging and teaching their children to enjoy brushing their teeth.”

Rebekah Greenhalgh - another regular at the Cis creating a series of children's books at the moment called Equality Books for Kids - created to break social stigmas, spark discussion and to promote fairness and equality.

About 100 children and parents attended the event at the Curve on Saturday, April 1 where they met the two writers.
