The Drew Barker Wright Charity

Owen Sheers talks with Sian Collins about writing his first children’s book after twenty years of writing poetry, fiction, plays and TV for adults.

Drew, Moo & Bunny Too was inspired by Drew Barker-Wright, who tragically passed away from a rare form of childhood cancer aged 4. Owen worked with Drew’s parents to develop the book to raise funds for the charity they set up in Drew’s name.

Drew’s mother, Melanie Barker will be joining Owen and Sian to discuss what it was like to work with Owen on writing this very special book in Drew’s memory.

On Sunday 28th April 11am, Owen will be holding an event for children at Kid’s Fest at the Lit Fest, about the magical adventure he takes Drew on in the book, with beautiful accompanying illustrations from acclaimed illustrator Helen Stephens.
