'Jim's workshop was very engaging. We really enjoyed hearing about his writing process and how he works with the illustrator. He made the session great fun and gave the children opportunities to create their own portals, survival kits and monsters. We were even treated to a live reading and ukulele playing. Thanks, Jim, for all the hard work you put in to making this workshop so enjoyable.'
