love to visit schools to share my passion for drawing and storytelling and to see the reaction my stories receive.My visit usually starts with a talk about where I find inspiration and how an idea develops from a simplescribble to a finished picture book.The WorkshopsHow To Draw A DragonI start with a demonstration,breaking a drawing down intosimple stages, to build confidenceand encourage the children toexplore ways to approach drawing.Weird And Wonderful CreaturesI invent a creature with some creative input from the children. Then it’s time for them to pick up their pencilsand explore their own limitless imaginations.
