“Mem is an amazing author who really uses her imagination brilliantly. When she read her books she used great expression, and it was really fun. Mem spoke about her time growing up in Africa and how she involves so many people in her books. We were so lucky.” – Isla, Year 6
“Mem Fox was really energetic and spoke with lots of expression. She involved students to read with her and it was really enjoyable. She explained that the first and last lines of a story are the most important. The whole school read with her, and it was easy because the words rhymed.” – Callie, Year 6
“I love Possum Magic and Where is the Green Sheep? and she read those books to us. She puts lots of effort into her books and she has great imagination. I loved it” – Sienna, Year 4
Mem Fox’s visit to Stirling North PS was a delightful experience for students and staff alike, leaving everyone with a newfound appreciation for the magic of storytelling.
