Having an author or illustrator visit your school will impact your students in ways you would never have thought possible.

What happens when you invite an author to visit, speak to, and work with your students?

they understand and appreciate the process involved with
creating books, writing stories and creating visual narrative

   students see that the arts as a viable and recognised career option            

they realise that they are story tellers with valuable stories to tell

students start reading, or read more

they begin to appreciate the value and power of story,  for themselves and their community

they are empowered to become confident story tellers

reluctant readers will be empowered
to find a book they love

students and staff will discover their story telling super powers!
