Christmas Books

13/01/2020

John Barnett, CAE Former Principal, had a very special day just before Christmas 2019. John was invited to Heffers, Cambridge’s biggest bookshop to sign copies of his children’s Christmas book. We wonder when the next Windy B story will be out?

WINDY B – The Christmas Lights Written by John Barnett. Illustrations by Alice Jamieson.
When Fred Roll, Windy B’s favourite baker, opened his shop door early one December morning, a gust of wind blew in an invitation to take part in the annual Christmas Lights competition. Just like his Dad many years before, it was something that Fred just could not resist. For Fred, his wife Heidi, and everybody living in the amazing Bumble Bay, this particular Christmas would be one that they would never ever forget!
