Cambridge

IMG_4076I was at the Cambridge Literary Festival last Friday. I talked and read out of my books and I was also asked to make a giant book with the children and their parents.


CfhQaBaWEAIDUpf-1The talk went really well and the audience was great. I was a bit worried about the workshop though, because the event was sold out and working with a hundred people at the same time is a bit challenging. I had lots of help and at the end everything was fine. We all had lots of fun.


I based the workshop on one of my books “Elephant”.1 cover


The book is about a little boy and his rather unusual friend.5I painted a house and asked everybody to bring their imaginary, or special friends inside for a party.IMG_4055Here is the book.IMG_4058In this case I can confidently say, that you can judge the book by its cover.IMG_4059Friends of different shapes and colours are coming to the party. Please notice the crocodile above the door, who is there to welcome everybody.

The children who came to my talk were rather small, but they are great artists. I really enjoyed my day at the Cambridge Literary Festival.
