- **Event Description**: We're thrilled to present an evening at the Sheldonian Theatre with Children's laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce.About this EventA British ChildhoodDuring his time as Children's Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce visited schools that had been forced to make permanent homes in temporary buildings, where teachers doubled up as social workers, therapists and nutritionists. He talked to children abandoned within the Pr*son system, seen to have forfeited their right to the second chance a good education might provide. He met families shuttled from one hotel room to another as they awaited the outcome of asylum decisions. And he talked to the extraordinary array of people working to change the fortunes of the young people around them.These encounters prompted him to reflect on his own upbringing in Merseyside, the difference literature made to his early years, and how, during his lifetime, childhood in Britain has been transformed. He shows how the connections we make and the sense of community are so vital to our future adult selves, and how, in the twenty-first century, these connections have become increasingly frayed.Frank Cottrell-BoyceFrank Cottrell-Boyce, UK Children's Laureate 2024–2026, is a multi award-winning children’s book author and screenwriter.
