What does it mean to be a child today? And what will the future of Britain look like if we don’t care for those who will shape it? Join author and Children’s Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce as he talks to Observer literary editor Tom Gatti, casting a glaring new light on childhood in the 21st century. Cottrell-Boyce will share stories about the children and young people he has met during his work, and assess what the impact of successive crises – from the Covid pandemic to austerity and the pressures on the care system – mean for those growing up today.
This illuminating session is a call to arms to us all, to care for the children of today. Cottrell-Boyce is a multi-award-winning children’s book author and screenwriter, and began his two-year term as Children’s Laureate in 2024.
As part of The Observer Culture Club, subscribers can book tickets to see this Book Club live from Hay Festival.
