VARIOS AUTORES / BLAKE, QUENTIN
in a beautiful anthology, ten childrens book greats share stories, poems, pictures, tips, and prompts meant to inspire young readers to create works of their own.
Have you ever sparked the start of a story by playing a game of What if? Is there any value to all that doodling you do? What does being a sponge have to do with facing down a blank page? Did you know that pictures can sometimes inspire stories, rather than the other way around? From Quentin Blakes drawings of fantastical vehicles to Michael Rosens inside look at his poetry, from Anthony Brownes shape game (no need to be an artist to play) to Lauren Childs look at her creative process, this anthology whose contributors were all British Childrens Laureates aims to encourage budding writers and artists to let their imaginations soar. The final spread is a collection of prompts from all the contributors, passing the creative torch to the next generation.
