Lucy Cousins and Maisy
are Up for Reading Maisy reading

Hi there!

I’m Lucy Cousins and I’m sure you all know my friend Maisy.

I was introduced to The Down Syndrome Educational Trust’s amazing work by a friend of mine who has a young child with Down syndrome.

We're delighted to support the Trust’s Up for Reading campaign.

Maisy and friends

It’s a great way to encourage young children to read books and also support a unique charity.

One lucky child who takes part will also receive one of my original and very rare Maisy paintings.

I hope you will join Maisy and me so we can all have some fun reading!

Best wishes and thanks,

Lucy Cousins and Maisy
