"My daughter has received a book from John Blow this week and she was very proud and we as a family enjoyed reading it"

"My son is in Year Three at John Blow and excitedly came home with his book gifted by the Parish Council to commentate the centenary of the end of World War one.  I just wanted to say thank you, pass on my son’s delight and that I think it was a lovely thing to do for the children."

"Thanks for the where the poppies now grow book, my girls were thrilled with their books and enjoyed the visitors talk too. V barely had her coat off and was reading it"
