Picture Book Fun

Session Info:

This session makes use of my picture book titles (QuincyGumboots,The Postman’s RacePeriwinkle’s RideDelilah’s Dream) and some unpublished stories and introduces to the children what a writer does and how a writer creates a story from a simple idea. It includes readings from the titles, discussions of topics such as scary things, (Quincy), and our dreams (Delilah’s Dream). Little kids like some hands-on stuff, so there are also some simple activities included as follow-ups to the readings and discussions. “I like when Esmeralda ate the flowers and she slept on the haystack. Your story was beautiful. I dream of being a good football player.”

Topics:

  • Realising your dreams
  • Things That Go Bump in the Night
  • Decorated Gumboots
  • Letter to a Friend
