William Grill-Author and Illustrator- Virtual visit to Yr 5/6
The school was very pleased that William Grill could return to the school(sadly virtually this time)to talk about his latest book and what it is like to write and illustrate your own books. William is a London based illustrator whose main interest lies in narrative illustration and publishing. He draws most of his inspiration from the natural world, and enjoys working in coloured pencils and occasionally printmaking processes like lino and lithography. His first book Shackelton's Journey won the 2015 Kate Greenaway award and has been translated into 14 different languages. The children were really inspired by both his work and how he overcomes challenges he encounters.
