Puffin Books<\/a> has stepped in to support a children’s literary festival during the coronavirus pandemic by donating 1,000 books to the event’s ‘Big Book Giveaway of 2020’.<\/p>\n

A partnership between Manchester Children’s Book Festival<\/a> and Puffin resulted in children having access to a range of materials, supplies and books.<\/p>\n

The aim of the festival, devised by poet Carol Ann Duffy<\/a>, is to promote reading among younger children and to bring them closer with their families. However, the outbreak of coronavirus put a halt to the event’s usual run of activities, including projects, workshops and competitions.<\/p>\n

The collaboration came about after the country went into in lockdown in March  – including the closure of all schools, colleges and universities. During this time, not all families were able to have access to the learning materials at home.<\/p>\n

This year the festival was set to expand its academic outlook by getting more institutions involved, after MCBF was successfully trialled in a number of primary schools in Longsight last year.<\/p>\n

Manchester Children’s Book Festival involves some of the top authors in the industry. Hosted by Manchester Metropolitan Univerity<\/a>, it became a year-long run of activities and workshops when joined by partner organisations<\/a> in 2014.<\/p>\n
