Some of you may remember the large puppet of a little girl who arrived in Liverpool with her uncle and a dog. They walked through part of Liverpool as part of the celebrations of Liverpool being the European City of Culture in 2008.

A new puppet of a Syrian girl is going to arrive on the beach at Folkestone on Tuesday and she will then walk to Manchester. She left Turkey, near the Syrian border in July and has walking across Europe since then.

I hope that lots of you will get to see her.
