How I made my book The Tree… in pictures.

May 10th, 2016

The Guardian Childrens Book Site have just published a piece showing how I made my latest picture storybook ‘The Tree’ in pictures.

‘The Tree’ is published by Walker Chidren’s Books.

Two days art workshopping in #portsmouth schools, and 120 bird collages later…

WONDERFUL work by the children, I’m sure you’ll agree. What impressed me most was how engaged every single pupil became with the project, precipitating talk about ‘habitat’ and the natural world. Many of them weren’t sure what a sparrow was before we started.

Thanks @btobirds @childrensbkshow @portslibraries and all the children and teachers who worked so hard to make it happen. The exhibition will be open for the holidays.
