A POPULAR children's author is coming to north Durham to help pupils celebrate World Book Day.
Anita Ganeri, the writer of the Horrible Geography series, will visit Tanfield Lea Junior School, near Stanley, today.
She will meet with the school's 220 pupils, giving talks about her work.
Tomorrow, parents, governors and staff will be bringing children's literature alive, when they come to school dressed as characters from their favourite book.
The pupils will spend the afternoon in groups, touring workshops discussing the various books and listening to readings.
