On Tuesday 11th March, Hannah Dorey, Laurelei Bautista and Sarah Downs attended ‘Speed Date an Author’ which was an extension writing programme which gave young writers the opportunity to meet six talented authors and illustrators. These authors helped us expand our knowledge in writing and illustrating.
When we arrived in Lower Hutt we met these following authors and illustrators:
· Anna Mackenzie (author)
· Bob Kerr (illustrator)
· Ruth Paul (author and illustrator)
· Ulf Stark (Swedish author)
· Marty Smith (poet)
· Sarah Laing (author and cartoon illustrator)
We had a great time, learnt many new skills, and came back with two new books for our library; Beige by Cecil Castellucci, and Granny by Anthony Horowitz –
Feel free to check them out!
