Review
Our young members are full of great ideas!
At Ellen Leou's Make You Own Picture Book Workshop, 12 participants displayed their talents after two 2-hour sessions.
Using her own book as an example, Ms. Leou (author of Lulu the Hong Kong Cat) showed the children how she came up with the initial concept for her story, chose her character(s) and setting and decided the problem facing her main character and how she would find a solution. The children then learnt how to develop the characters, put their stories into their story board, write and rewrite the stories, read them to family and friends, edit and finally create their own storybook.
Their creativity was truly amazing! Everyone's approach was really unique and each child followed where their imagination took them. We much enjoyed their highly original stories; there was a dog who has lost its tail, a Mr. Gold who went on treasure hunt, a new Snoopy story, a unicorn, princesses and lots more!
We were pleasantly surprised to see how detailed their illustrations were in spite of their young age. The vivid illustrations perfectly complemented their stories and made the characters come to life.
At the end of the session, it was lovely to see the children bravely stand up and proudly present their story books. These children are indeed authors and illustrators in the making. Boys and girls, keep up the good work!
