UK based children’s book illustrator Paul Geraghty visited Harrow this term. Students from Year 1 to Year 7 were entertained by Paul’s stories and his descriptions about how he comes up with the ideas for his books.Being of South African origin, much of the inspiration for Paul’s books has been drawn from the animals
and people of the African continent. He spoke wonderfully of the creatures he saw on moonlit nights around the waterhole, and how the animals outside his bedroom window inspired creativity within him.Paul also discussed the creative process, and identified techniques that students could apply to their own creative work.
Some of these creatures came to life during the day, as the school was left with three startling illustrations: a frog, a dinosaur and an elephant. These illustrations will be
hung around the school for viewing shortly.
