September 8th, 2020Two New Frontier creators were part of the annual Chiswick Book Festival on Sunday 15th September; Lucy Barnard, author and illustrator of Ruby and Graham, and Nicole Prust, author of The Sloth and the Dinglewot.
For the first time ever, all the talks were taking place entirely online. There was full schedule of events, with viewers being able to watch sessions live via zoom or pre-recorded videos. Even with this new approach, the two did a fantastic job at hosting their events via video, and making them an engaging and interesting experience for all.

Nicole Prust
Nicole was born in Sri Lanka and came to England when she was 3 months old. She is currently a primary school teacher in London. As a child, she never craved the adrenaline rush, and was quite nervous. At work, she often sees that 'fear of the unknown' in the children she teaches, which inspired her first book. Her love for creative writing started when she was a child and her dream for so long was to publish a book and encourage children to try new things and find inner strength. Now that dream has come true!Click the video below to watch Nicole Prust explain how she came to write the book, read from it and answers readers’ questions.
