"From the moment Levi began working with the children it became apparent that the
experience would be a memorable one. He engaged their interest in poetry and had them
becoming ‘poets’ very quickly."
- Ian Devereux-Roberts, Deputy Headteacher, Little Sutton C.E. Primary School.
"A really excellent day. the children enjoyed every minute they spent with him."
