Primary 5 were very excited to tune in to watch Lauren Child, creator of Charlie and Lola, in the BBC live event.
Lauren is the current Waterstones Children’s Laureate, and will be answering questions about what her role entails. She’ll also be talking about how she creates her characters, including the much-loved Charlie and Lola.
We learned about how Lauren gets ideas for her books and how she creates her characters and storylines. Also, Lauren also talked about the importance of illustrations in her books. She explained her love of drawing pictures from a young age.
We are inspired to create our own stories and illustrations!
