On Sunday 28th of June 2015 the RNCM held a great event linked with the Manchester Children's Book Festival, consisting of various different workshops and activities. It was a wonderful day for families of all ages and races.
My Mum and I enjoyed one of the hilarious high-lights of the day as Nick Sharratt (a famous illustrator for over 50 Jacqueline Wilson books and many Julia Donaldson stories) took to the stage to entertain.
There were many jokes and laughs as we sang, danced, and drew with him on our special journey. On the way we met honking elephants, cool koalas and animals playing instruments; listened to music performed by a small but talented band of players and sang with Nick Sharratt. We met a rocking caterpillar and some very funny sheep and found some very peculiar pants!
At the end we managed to get some books signed and got some friendly advice about becoming an illustrator. The overall event was interactive and a great start to the Manchester Children's Book Festival; a huge thank you to everyone who organised this event!
