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.
