Young illustrator in progress


 I am invited to attend my niece Win Win 's school event on 19 May 2012. I didn't expect much from this trip.  Probably just a few children making some crafty work. It was held in Ang Mo Kio library on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived quite early so we hang around the library till the teacher .

Our first stop is to check out Win Win's book. She told us so much about her 3D pop up book so we were very curious what she had made in her class. I was so excited when I see this book display on the paper.


 Look at this!!!! My niece;s name is on the book! By the way, the book is bind by teacher Hazel.
She is such an amazing teaching. All the books displayed are made by her. According to the Principal, the children are divided into groups. For Win Win it is a group of 3 students. The teacher will throw in some ideas and they will work on it.







This is the first page of the book. Each student is responsible to draw a cat. Win Win's cat is on right.
(Did you spot the Sassfrass-Lass paper ? It is so cute with the three cats) Teacher Hazel also told me that she laminate each page so it looks very glossy.








 According to Win Win , she also draws all the furniture on this book. Gosh isn't she amazing!!!!
 End of the day, each attendee receives a certificate known as Certificate for Reading. They are so excited about it.

 Before we leave the library, I asked Win Win to take a picture with the book. As it belongs to the school so we are not able to take it back. it was pretty sad but the teacher said the book will be sent to Indonesia for an exhibition over there. Wow that's sound interesting.
Well that's it for a mini exciting event that happen in May.

Very beautiful book indeed. But they should have bind extras for the children as souvenir. At least like an in-kind payment for copyright or something since the kids came up with the story and drawings.
