Carleton House Preparatory School will celebrate the soft launch of an illustrated children’s book featuring their own school mascot, Carleton Mouse, with a special in-house event for school children and families this month.
The fantastically festive Christmas adventure is the product of an exciting collaboration between local author Helen Yoxall Burns and local illustrator, Jared Burki.
To celebrate the relaunch of the school’s annual Carleton Mouse Reader Night event, Helen Yoxall Burns said “I was delighted and honoured to pay homage to the school mascot through a heart-warming Christmas tale. Like Carleton Mouse’s idea, our project snowballed from a little concept into something huge! The magical message of the story is relatable to all children and the illustrations are simply stunning.”
Jared Burki added “With my art, I hope to inspire young minds as they explore and experience worlds of wonder.”
Published by TAUK Publishing, the paperback will launch on Amazon 17th November. Pre-orders for Kindle will be available from 20th November 2022.
The paperback will retail at £7.99 and £1 of every book sale at the event will be donated to the Carleton House Preparatory PTA fund.
Helen concluded “I adore writing stories sprinkled with a magical message and I am grateful Carleton House gave us this opportunity to bring their magnificent mascot to life.”
