Alison Lester
Last week a very special person came to our school. Her name is Alison Lester!!! She is an author and she has written many books like: Are We There Yet? Magic Beach, Clive Eats Alligators, Clive Dances to the Didgeridoo, Snow Pony , Quick Sand Pony and many more.
A number of kids worked with her and she showed us how she did her books. She said that she had steps and this is how she does them: She sketches her pictures, Starts her writing, Does the colours for her pictures, Does the cover and checks if her editor approves. She is a really good drawer and she says that it isn’t hard to make your own book you can just make anything you want. You can keep as a book that you made or you can see if anyone likes it and sell it to them. We had to write about either food, school, games and sport.
We had to draw a picture of us doing what we chose to write about, for example say i was writing about food i would say sokeina like’s to eat hotchips and chicken for lunch. Then i would have to draw a picture of me eating chicken and chips. The teachers said that Alison Lester Signed a few things for us and there going to give us those things hopefully in a few weeks.
