Book Week fun with Jane Godwin

ES1 - Stage 1  

Join Jane Godwin as she shares several of her picture books, explaining how each story came about and the process of making a picture book. Jane will take you on a journey through the creation of a picture book – from the initial idea, rough drafts, storyboards and illustrations to the final printing of the finished book. She will encourage students to share their own ideas and explore similar techniques when they write their own stories.
