My Brother John

Today’s Waterstone’s event at the Trafford Centre was a landmark event for My Brother John. Not only was the event a great success- author Joanne Zellweger was asked to read and sign the book within the hour long event to a mixed audience of deaf and hearing children. Members of the Watersones team said , “This was one of the most interactive the store had had! We are delighted! ” Sign interpeter, Andy Higgins signed the book  as  the author read the book . Andy who is no stranger to book launches, as he was involved in the Harry Potter book launch, helped younger children to fingerspell their name.

The colouring compeition was judged by the My Brother John Illustrator, Andy Elliott who also personalised My Brother John bookmarks to visitors. Prizes, donated by Cochlear Europe, were awarded to 3 children - all under 8 with the winner being just 3 years old! It really is fabulous to see My Brother John being stocked by a nationnally known store.
