May is the month when, each year, events and activities, that celebrate the power of story, are promoted by Children's Book Groups across the country.

For National Share-a-Story Month 2009 the Federation are delighted to be working with Usborne Books, to launch the Usborne Young Writer's Award 2009. 

Five groups across the country are hosting five Usborne Writers all of whom have started stories that they would like you to help them finish.

Mendip and Yeo Children's Book Groups launched the event nationally in May.
