Last week Korky Paul the illustrator visited our classroom.  He drew us a strange creature.  We told him what to draw for eyes, ears, legs and a body.  We were using our imaginations to create this creature.  Korky said you need to have a good imagination to draw pictures and write stories.

Korky read us a Winnie the Witch story and told us lots about why he drew things in the book the way he did.  He told us about drawing himself in some of his books and we tried to find him in a picture from one of his books.

We have noticed that he draws characters from one story in his other books and he explained that in  the world he is imagining all his characters live in the same world.  Isn’t that fascinating!

We really enjoyed the visit and it has inspired us to write and illustrate some stories.
