How did it go?
Event number 4 already! We spent a fabulous morning with the award-winning author and illustrator Benji Davies, at the magnificent Wolverhampton Grand theatre, along with 1000 children and teachers. It was fascinating to listen to Benji talk: we learned where his ideas and inspiration come from, the media and materials he uses to create, and were also treated to live drawing! Benji transported us to the world of Noi, by reading his classic The Storm Whale, and we were lucky to have a preview of his next delightful picture book The Great Storm Whale - out next week! Thanks so much to all who came.
