Join Jodie Lancet-Grant for a fun and inclusive storytelling event with games, activities and the chance to find out your secret magical creature identity! Meet Ava and her dads, the Marvellous Doctors for Magical Creatures. They’re the first port of call for dragons with sore throats and mermaids with measles. When her dads can’t work out what’s behind Glitterbug the unicorn’s tummy aches, Ava decides to investigate – and she makes a new friend in the process. A heart-warming story of friendship and a celebration of diverse family life.

She is Chair of Judges for the Children’s and Young Adults category of the Polari Prize, the UK’s only prize for queer writing.
