Jodie Lancet-Grant: The Wild West Twins
Saddle up for a rip-roaring event in celebration of our differences, featuring interactive storytelling and Wild West-themed games.
The Legend of the Wild West Twins by Jodie Lancet-Grant introduces us to twins Buffalo Lil and Buffalo Jill. They look just the same but are as different as apple pie and desert cactus!
This book is a big-hearted adventure story celebrating acceptance while gently questioning the ‘right’ way to be a girl, and who gets to be the hero.
Come along for an afternoon of stories, games, a design-your-own-WANTED-poster activity, and a chance to find out your cowgirl or cowboy name. Yeeha!
Jodie Lancet-Grant is the author of The Pirate Mums and The Marvellous Doctors for Magical Creatures. She is the chair of judges for the Polari Prize for Children’s Books celebrating LGBTQ+ books and creatives. She lives in East London with her wife and their twin daughters.
