Our First Ever School Visit!

As I said before, Tommings and I got invited to come into a local primary school to talk about the Charlie Cheese Books. Today was the day! It was fantastic, the children asked questions on where we get our ideas from, how long it takes us to write and illustrate, and how reading lots and lots helped our brains get new ideas! We also set a challenge to make their own food characters, all of them were amazing!

Here's some of the ones I remember:
Ogy Orange, Lucy Lettuce, Hassan Hummus, Dennis Doughnut, and for some reason Pizza Pig!

The children drew up their characters, some wrote their own rhyming childrens books, and Tom had illustrated what they were writing about. I'm very pleased with how our first school visit went as the children heard all about the effort and time that goes into writing - and that reading books is super important. We loved each minute of it, and hope to do it again in the future!
