Cambridge
I 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.
The 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”.
The book is about a little boy and his rather unusual friend.I painted a house and asked everybody to bring their imaginary, or special friends inside for a party.
Here is the book.
In this case I can confidently say, that you can judge the book by its cover.
Friends of different shapes and colours are coming to the party. Please notice the crocodile above the door, who is there to welcome everybody.
More party friends in the other room. Do you like the monkey swinging on the chandelier?
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.
At the end of the day I had time for a little walk around Cambridge. The sun was shining and I had my first ice cream of the year. It was worth travelling a long distance.
