Seaford Scene August 2019

local author and
agency team up
to help seaford
schools
Newberry Tully Estate
agents, of Church Street,
has teamed up with a local
author to donate copies of
a newly published children’s
book to primary schools in
the town. Newberry Tully
supported the book called
Spot the Different
by Seaford resident Jerry Lyons by
buying copies to hand out to local children.
The book tells the tale of a young girl who is scared
about not fitting, in who meets a magical ladybird
called Spot who teaches her to love her own
individuality and that of others. Jerry, who initially
wrote the book as a bedtime rap for his seven-yearold
daughter Charlotte, said: ‘Without the support
of Newberry Tully this book would not have been
possible to publish and distribute. I can’t thank them
enough for helping to share the book’s positive theme
with children across Seaford.
‘The book’s key messages are
that it’s ok to be different, to have
friends from different backgrounds
and that each child is wonderfully
unique.’ Andrew Tully said: ‘We
are delighted to play our part in
getting Spot the Different into
as many young hands and minds
as possible. We loved the ideas
around the book and when the
chance came up to donate 40 copies to local schools
we jumped at it.’ Stephen Newberry added: ‘We are
committed to supporting the community we’ve been
serving since 1987 and thought this was a unique way
of doing exactly that.’
Cradle Hill, Chyngton, Seaford and Annecy Primary
Schools have all accepted ten copies of the book
for use in their classrooms and libraries. Cradle Hill
Headteacher Andrea Keith: ‘We are really grateful to
Newberry Tully for donating copies of this wonderful
book which carries a really positive message for
children to understand and enjoy.’
£1 from each sale of the book is donated to The
Children’s Literacy Charity which provides specialist
one-to-one literacy support for disadvantaged children.
The book is currently on sale at Baca’s Coffee Bar in
Dane Road and via the Spot the Different Facebook
page before going on general sale in September.
