This week award-winning author Liam O’Donnell visited with the Grades 3 and 4 classes. He showed us how writers and illustrators team up to turn ideas into full colour graphic novels. Drawing on his newest mystery series, Tank & Fizz, Liam shared a hands-on look at the scripts and sketches writers and illustrators create before moving on to the final draft. Liam also talked about where he gets his ideas, including how his love of video games inspired him to create Battle of the Blocks, a middle grade adventure series set in the world of Minecraft. Please be sure to ask your child about Liam O’Donnell’s visit, as it was amazing and inspiring!
