Illustrator Visit - KH

Last Tuesday our class had a visit from Tamsin

Ainslie. She is a friend of Eloise in our class. Tamsin is

an Illustrator. She has illustrated over 50 books. She

showed us how she does her illustrations and the

process she has to follow. She also showed us her

latest book "The Sisters Saint-Claire." Then she

helped us make our very own book about mice.

Tamsin also left us with a copy of her book to keep

in our library.

Thank you Tamsin.
