I had met Laura at one of the Reading Roadshows. She was the author behind a very successful Cbeebies show called Jojo and Gran Gran. She was keen to discuss with me ideas that I had about working with children.

She was an author and a local teacher. She also was working on a project called Family Week. She made the very true point that mothers' and fathers' days were not very inclusive for children so family week was about celebrating all different types of families.

I was very supportive of what she was trying to do and agreed to help her if there was any way she would like me to be involved.
