Hear from the extraordinary illustrators of Neil Gaiman’s latest book, 'What You Need to be Warm'

Join us for a very special event as we hear from the extraordinary illustrators of Neil Gaiman’s latest book, What You Need to be Warm, supporting the work of the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Oliver Jeffers, Chris Riddell, Beth Suzanna, Benji Davies, Marie-Alice Harel, Petr Horácek, Nadine Kaadan, Majid Adin and Pam Smy all contributed original illustrations to bring Neil’s words to life and this event will discuss the work that went into such an important project, chaired Emma Cherniavsky, the Chief Executive Officer in the UK for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth in cold times. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from, and about welcoming those who find themselves far from home. In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? From the thousands of replies he received; he composed an extraordinary poem in aid of UNHCR's 2019 winter appeal. This poem will now be available in a beautiful hardback edition, with every copy sold supporting the work of UNHCR.Tickets: £8 general admission / £6 Waterstones Plus cardholder / £19 includes entry and a copy of What You Need to Be Warm (RRP: £12.99) with a Bagram Ibatoulline art print, which will be available for collection on the night. 50% of ticket admission sales will be donated to the UNHCR. UNHCR the UN Refugee Agency, protects people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution. We work in over 130 countries, protecting millions of people by responding with life-saving support, safeguarding fundamental human rights, and helping them build a better future.If you have any questions about this event, please email events@waterstones.com
