Do you want to write a book? If so, come along to IW author, Felicity Fair Thompson’s session ‘Thinking Up Stories to Write’. Join her to play with ideas and listen to the story Daisy Works Wonders – in which Daisy wants to stop a new girl in her class being bullied and comes up with a very new approach. Felicity’s children’s books often start off with a problem. Could you use this technique? Bring your ideas along and let’s talk, share suggestions, try out some illustrations and, maybe, draw the front cover of your book.
