Throughout the month of May the Federation of Children’s Book Groups will be celebrating the power of story with its National Share-a-Story Month. Children will have a chance to MAKE HISTORY by entering the National Share a Story Month competition, supported by English Heritage, with opportunities to bring history to life, using author visits, local history and their own experiences to create their entries.

To win a digital camera, signed copies of the Historical House books and £500 worth of books for your school, children in primary and secondary schools are invited to write a  Historical Story selected from a choice of topics. Download the competition leaflet for full details and submission address. Closing date 15th June 2007.
