Summer Reading Challange

11/7/2014

0 Comments

 
Okay I admit it, the more observant of you will notice that this post is being written a long time after summer. The truth is that recently my diary has just been so packed with storytelling, literary festivals, re-writes, edits, conferences and... (something else, now what was that? Oh yes...) teaching that I haven't been a very good girl at keeping you all up to date.


I hope to remedy that over the next few days and give you a whistle stop catch up and to do that we have to go back into the mists of time and remember a summer just gone.


Now I love the summer reading challenge and I always get involved with activities down at my local library but this year's was extra special. Partly because all the supporting illustration had been done by one of my most favourite illustrators, Sarah McIntyre, but also because I got to team up with local artist Andrew Holland for some brilliant mythical fun. 


Over the weeks we ran several events focusing on dragons, we read stories, sang songs, wore hats (lots of them), did yoga and created the most fantastical piece of collaborative dragon art that now has pride of place in the library. A permanent reminder of the mythical magic we conjured up at the reading challenge.
