They also joined in a sing-a-long to try and wake Ben up. Finally Sean showed them how to use a variety of shapes and lines to create their own version of one of the characters. The children thoroughly enjoyed Sean’s visit and were inspired to become illustrators themselves. What a wonderful experience was had by all! ### Author visits Y2
