Inside Story
A wonderful afternoon where 15 authors and illustrators gave us the behind the scenes look at the creation of their work….speed dating style.
Thank you so much to the wonderful Children's Bookshop Beecroft for hosting our very first Inside Story. There was champagne, chat, unicorns, pythons, giant bears…actually quite a few bears…and lots of book login' in the room. We go to get a sneak peek at the behind-the-scenes workings of a book and it was fantastic! And thank you to the wonderful Susanne Gervay, RA, for making it happen!
