This Thursday is World Book Day where we celebrate books and reading.
Today, we joined an online talk from the illustrator, David O’Connell.
First, we learnt some bugs facts based on the living things in his books.
Then, David showed us how to draw three of his characters, Dribble, Dash and Nettie, taken from his latest book, The Beastie Bros. The children’s illustrations were excellent.
Finally, there was chance to think about what questions we’d like to ask David.
How many books have you wrote?
What was your first book called?
Why did you want to become an illustrator and author?
Help at home: have a look at some illustrations in books at home. How are they similar or different to the characters David draws?
