Go Home Stay Home - Life with Covid-19

Here’s a little media experiment for a story I’ve been developing for the past year about a little boy who has to stay home.
It’s kind of crazy that in the space of a week this is now a reality for many families world wide. My story despite this sad beginning turns into an unbelievably, adventuress tale with lots of laughter along the way. Stories are great like that - they can transport you from one place to another and draw your attention to things you hadn’t considered.

For all of you who are at home right now there are so many wonderful authors, illustrators and musicians who are sharing their gifts to brighten the days indoors.
Here are just a few of my favourites - follow them with me if you like!

@macbarnett - laugh a minute storytelling picture books and chapter books.
@oliverjeffers - story reading and picture telling - maybe drawing too?
@carsonellis - drawing promps and storytelling.

Experimenting

I’ve been having fun trying new materials and experimenting a lot lately. So nice to get off the computer and work more with my hands. Coloured pencils and pastels may be my new favourite!
