Martyn Harvey Author Visit - Y3&4

Year 3 and 4 had a wonderful day with Martyn Harvey, a local author. Martyn is a new author and illustrator of children's books, including The Boy with the Saucepan Hat and Squiggly Pete the Pirate. Martyn is based in Neston, Cheshire, and his books feature very funny stories illustrated in a bright, quirky contemporary style using ink and watercolour. His most recent book 'Squiggly Pete in the Curse of the Monster Zombie Mushy Peas' is set in Parkgate and features local landmarks. 

On his visit the children had a workshop with Martyn where he modelled how to draw characters from his stories and created with each class their very own character to inspire their own writing.

We look forward to his next book, which is going to be set in West Kirby and features a kraken!
