John Fardell visited us on Tuesday to talk to Primary 3 children. He showed us his book of ideas and drawings where he writes down everything that might be useful in a book later. We all heard the story of Jeremiah Jellyfish, who wanted to do more than just drift with the shoal and ended up flying rocket planes. One of the best bits according to the audience, was being able to make up a story together starting with one picture, then another, and another!
John gave us an inspiring talk which was taken to heart by all his listeners. Some people took his advice to start their stories with pictures first and then writing. Others have tried their hand at comic books, or inventing gadgets for use by Manfred the Baddie.
