We are loving the books and prints as part of the Drawn into books!
They have created quite a stir in assembly and in the library.

Drawn Into Books
Do you and your pupils love art and books? Encourage reading for pleasure and art appreciation through combining wonderful works of art by some of the best illustrators in children's books and a collection of picture books to read and enjoy with your pupils.
Book illustrators aren’t always championed, so we’re giving you and your pupils the opportunity to study and enjoy the illustrations of a range of children’s book illustrators, alongside the books their work is published in. Some of the artworks are the actual original pieces, and others are prints and we’ve created some fun activities and further ideas for study for you to develop your knowledge of some of the techniques, themes and ideas created by the art and the stories.
Each collection can be borrowed for up to a term. We will normally deliver and collect within the first and last two weeks of the term. If you require a collection that spans two terms it can be loaned to you for 12 weeks, delivered in the week of your choice. Delivery and collection from school is included.
Illustrators featured in this collection are:
Katie Abey – EYFS/KS1
Alex Barrow – EYFS/KS1
Elys Dolan – KS1/KS2
Mei Matsuoka – KS1/KS2
David Ouimet – KS2
Claire Powell – KS1/KS2
Matt Robertson – KS1/KS2
Laurie Stansfield – KS1/KS2
Ed Vere – EYFS/KS1
3 x collections a year, loaned for up to 12 weeks can be borrowed as a purple module
This will include artworks by your chosen illustrator, multiple copies of books featuring the illustrator’s work, easels and supporting resources with activities to try out.
See the gallery below for the illustrators’ works.
