INSIDE STORY, INSIDE DREAMS

Kiara Carvalho, “Book Girl" for Bim Litfest Children’s Fair 2014

My favourite author is Enid Blyton because I feel as though I am inside of the stories being told in the books. My favourite Enid Blyton book so far is The Cat with the Feathery Tail.

The first book which caught my attention is a Seasame Street book, Elmo Goes to Sleep, which was read to me when I was in reception by Ms. Miller, my teacher back then.

What caught my attention were Elmo's dreams. They opened my imagination and made me want to read.

• Kiara is headgirl at Grantley Prescod Memorial Primary School. She will be portraying “Book Girl”, one of Anansi's Wordkeepers, at the Bim Litfest Children's Fair on Saturday, May 17, in Independence Square.
