Children’s authors Nasreen Pritchard and Alexandra Strick hosted a book launch at the Wellbeing Space in Farnham.

Both residents of the town for more than ten years, they were promoting Nasreen’s new title Keep Calm and Do Bodmas, a book aimed at tweens and teens featuring wellbeing advice and meditation techniques.

Alexandra is a children’s picture book author and her latest picture book You Can – illustrated by Steve Antony – offers words of inspiration and reassurance to younger children.

It was recently published in the UK and the rights have been sold in other countries including the USA, where it launches next month.

With a new academic year starting this week, the two writers hope their work will support the efforts of parents and grandparents to guide children through school.
