Booked In is on for a sixth fabulous year! As usual, we are collaborating with the local sub-branch of the Children’s Book Council to bring you our featured guest. This year, it will be the wonderful award-winning author-illustrator Judith Rossell.
Judith’s books include maze and puzzle books, picture books and novels, and have been published in more than 20 languages. She has written 12 books and illustrated about 80. Her best-selling illustrated novels Withering-by-Sea and Wormwood Mire have won a number of awards. Her most recent picture book was Bogtrotter, written by Margaret Wild. She teaches Writing for Children at RMIT in Melbourne and has a cat the size of a walrus. More about her books and her illustrations at www.judithrossell.com At Booked In, Judith will be visiting schools around Armidale and district, and will give a Live Link video presentation for children in rural and remote schools. And she’ll also be presenting a fantastic 2 and a half hour evening workshop for adults on writing for kids, with some fun writing exercises (generating ideas), and how to make a story from a situation. |
