It's wonderful to see Callie pulling together different influences to create her own pictures and story! \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/951844_original-ccd9ee42e1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/952124_original-9d53679335.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nThis is my favourite scene. Often when children create stories, they either want to be kind to their characters by making everything go well for them (which is very boring), or they make the disasters utterly violent and kill off their characters (which is fine, but not all stories \u003Ci>have\u003C/i> to go like that). Here's a disaster that many of us can relate to (certainly I can!), making an utter mess in the kitchen. And I love that there are two pages, a clean beginning full of hope, and then a disaster scene. And the fact that Icecreamcorn is laughing at the absurdity makes me love it just that extra bit. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/952363_original-3dd6f30b53.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/952665_original-15262c2799.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/952862_original-8404d81fc9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd this is a key scene - it means the book is FINISHED! The difference between a wanna-be author and an author is that a wanna-be author has ideas, and maybe even starts creating stories, but an author \u003Ci>finishes\u003C/i> them. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/953288_original-e95cd9ce04.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nWell done to this fabulous author!
