This development is extremely interesting for students as it gives them the opportunity to engage with the illustrators of featured texts and this in turn, will provide further stimulation.



One of the presenters, Mark Greenwood says "the outcomes resonate long after the author's presentations have concluded. The inspiration that echoes in the minds of the young audiences cannot be underestimated."

In 2015 they had over 2000 visitors and another presenter, Norman Jorgensen explains "thousands of children have had their lives brightened and their eyes opened to a whole new experience of meeting talented local creators."
