Magic Daisy Publishing is running a very special short story competition for Primary aged children. Two winners (one from EYFS/KS1 and one from KS2) will have their short stories published in their very own book. The stories will include original illustrations by the fabulous Chell Haizel.

We are thrilled to say that EVERY SINGLE ENTRY FEE OF £4 will go directly to the Safe Haven for Caitlin cause. We are delighted that alongside the Magic Daisy Team, Caitlin herself will be helping to choose the winning stories. ALL PROFITS from the sales of the winning books made via the Magic Daisy Publishing Bookshop, will also go directly to the cause.
