Write your own book
Children can create their own books, even children who do not know how to read.
In this two-hour workshop for adults, teenagers or a parent and child pair, participants make their own books.
Two overlapping methods are used to create these books.
- First, children can use other books as models, for example, children can substitute themselves and their families for the characters in the books.
- Second, children can write books based on their own experiences. The role of adults will vary depending on the children, but children will always have a role in creating the books, even if it is limited to drawing.
This is an introductory-level workshop suitable for participants with no experience or beginner level experience. This session is not appropriate for children who are already writing books. It is not a master class; it is a beginner class.
