Panmure District School visit
“David didn’t just visit our school as an author. He left our children believing that their own stories matter, that reading can open doors, and that their futures are full of possibility.
Thank you for reminding our tamariki that heroes are real, dreams are worth pursuing, and sometimes the first step towards an extraordinary future is simply opening a book.
The impact was immediate. The very next day, our library was full of children lining up to borrow books. Our Year 8 students approached David to say they wanted to be just like the people he had written and spoken about. That is the power of storytelling. That is the power of representation.”
