Let Your Imagination Fly – The Boy With Wings Competition

Creativity is so important for children and that’s why we are inviting students to tell us what their superhero adventure would be in celebration of the publication of The Boy With Wings by Lenny Henry, with the chance to win a prize that money can't buy for them and their whole class!

The Boy with Wings is a thrilling adventure written by comedy legend Lenny Henry and illustrated by Keenon Ferrell. Teachers – enter the competition today for the chance to win a space for your class at a  special Lenny Henry virtual school event all about his new out-of-this-world children’s book, as well as a copy of the book for each child in your class.

One lucky winning class will receive the following:

·        Live or post-event access to Lenny Henry’s virtual schools event hosted on 20 October 2021

·        A copy of the hardback edition of The Boy With Wings for every child in your class*

*up to 30 copies of the book

To enter the competition, teachers can submit an entry on behalf of each student in their class by requesting that each student do the following:

Write and tell us what your superhero adventure would be. You can write about your superpowers, or your superhero group or who your nemesis is – the more creative the better! Or you can draw an original picture showcasing you as a superhero.
