We were super lucky to have Dr Punam Krishan drop in to Oxgangs Library to give a special talk about her new book.

The pupils of Pentland Primary learned about ME AND MY FEELINGS and had lots of questions for the author.

It was a really engaging hour that ended in Punam donating a few signed copies to the school.

Thanks Dr Krishnan.
