Stella Fry, Children's Events Manager
Stella and her family relocated to Faversham from South East London in 2000, moving into a house just a few streets away from the childhood home of her great grandmother. A graduate of Sussex University (BA / MA), Stella is a former charity fundraiser (Nacro), a qualified teacher and is currently working as an LSA, Art & Design Coordinator and tutor at a junior school in Whitstable. Her first picture book, Grandpa’s Garden, published by Barefoot Books and illustrated by Sheila Moxley, has sold more than 23,000 copies in the UK and US. An enthusiastic teller of tales, Away With Words is Stella's story-telling enterprise intended to nourish children’s delight in words.
