CHATterboxes
Hellooo new friends. We just had a great chat as part of the Online Literature Festival (hosted by The Learning Place). I talked to lots of highly intelligent kids (or possibly mutant robots – I couldn’t see) and answered a LOT of great questions. It was all happening pretty quickly – if I didn’t answer one of your questions you’re very welcome to ask me here.
A few things I missed:
Someone asked where they can download the colouring in page for A Dream of Bunyips Dancing… it’s on my website here – as well as a new one for The Night Garden.
How many books have you written and illustrated? I’ve written 5, but I’ve illustrated 50. So I’ve got a bit of catching up to do with the writing
I’ve got a lot of things partly completed though so there’s always more coming up…
Where did the ideas come from for the white statue creatures in the centre of the garden? Well, when I was thinking of ideas for the garden I drew pages and pages of creatures, tree shapes, statues and vines. By the end I had some pretty weird ones! These were my favourites. I like the donut turtle.
Hello to Brighton, St.Catherine’s (Proserpine), William Duncan State School (Gold Coast), Tivoli State School, Fitzgerald State School (Mackay), Hilder Road State School, Oakleigh State School, Gargett State School and Mansfield State School. Did I miss anyone? You were great! If you come back to the blog again soon I’ll be able to tell you when I update the website with a whole lot of new material about The Night Garden and some colouring-in sheets too. Teachers stay tuned for work sheets and information.
