    Teacher

  • “Zia loves her new Beyond comic subscription. She reads it every night when mummy is drying her hair (instead of being glued to her iPad!) Her favourite character is the shark ‘because he’s a nice shark’. She said ‘I love the colours in the comic and I hope the next comic will show me how to draw the shark!’”
