Jayce Visits Janet Fay House for Black History Month 2025
As part of Black History Month 2025, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Janet Fay House in Birmingham for a special author visit and storytelling workshop.
It was such a joyful day! I read one of my books aloud to the amazing residents, and we enjoyed a fun activity session filled with smiles, laughter, and stories. I loved hearing about their experiences — it felt like we were sharing little pieces of history and imagination together.
Storytelling is one of my favourite ways to bring people together. No matter how old we are, stories help us understand each other, celebrate our culture, and make new memories.
I’m so thankful to everyone at Janet Fay House for welcoming me so warmly and for celebrating Black History Month with me through reading, creativity, and connection. It’s a day I’ll always remember

The Story behind the Gift Box
Released on World Book Day 2024, Jayce’s World of Learning Gift Box was born from the remarkable journey of Jayce Joyce BCyA – officially recognised as the World’s Youngest Author to Publish a Book Series Simultaneously.
From as early as 15 months old, Jayce’s passion for books was undeniable. His family watched in awe as he created his own imaginative classroom at home. Jayce would arrange his beloved teddies – affectionately called his “pupils” – on the floor, giving each a name. He’d take on the role of teacher, assigning tasks based on what he’d learned at nursery or dreamed up with his boundless imagination, often centred on letters and numbers. At the end of each lesson, Jayce would pack “homework” into small carrier bags for his pupils to take home – a heartfelt mimicry of the real world through the lens of a child’s joy and creativity.
Inspired by this magical beginning, Jayce’s World of Learning Gift Box was thoughtfully curated to promote early literacy, diversity, and inclusion.
The gift box includes:
– Jayce’s 3 published books
– 3 themed bookmarks
– Alphabet Activity Books 1 & 2
– Creative Writing Activity Book
– Reward Stickers
– A Jigsaw Puzzle
– Alphabet and Feelings Flashcards
– A Custom Pencil

Author Visits
I work with schools, libraries, bookshops, and community groups around the UK to celebrate a culture of reading and writing. I plan bespoke author visits for children ages 0 – 10 years and can cater to your chosen themes, genres, topics, etc.
What you can expect from my visits:
My events are run as an assembly and usually consist of a Storytime session. They can last up to 3 hours including an informative question and answer session, a workshop and a book signing. These are fun, engaging and completely stress-free. Being a young, published author, my visits have proven to be a wonderful way to encourage a love for reading and writing as children always see themselves in me.
The Power of Workbooks
The goal of workbooks is not just to improve immediate learning outcomes but to instil a lifelong love for learning. When children find joy in the process of learning, they become enthusiastic and motivated learners throughout their educational journey and beyond. For this reason, I use my creative workbook during workshops to encourage children to foster their literary abilities.

Testimonial
We had the pleasure of taking 60 Year 2 children to the Library of
Birmingham on World Book Day to visit Jayce. The experience was truly
enriching and inspiring for the children, especially since Jayce was the same age as them. Jayce captivated their imaginations by reading his book ‘Jayce’s Sweet tooth’ and patiently answered their numerous questions. His enthusiasm for literature and his ability to connect with young minds made the visit memorable and inspiring. The children left with a renewed love for reading and a deeper appreciation for the world of books. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to foster a love of reading in young learners.
Jayce came to Short Wood Primary School and delivered an amazing assembly to our children. His enthusiasm and passion for reading and writing inspired our children to want to become writers themselves. We are so pleased that Jayce was able to visit us!
