Jon Agee Performance

We’re very excited that author and illustrator Jon Agee will be travelling to the UK all the way from San Francisco to perform for us. In this playful and fun event Jon will take centre stage and draw live for the audience, telling stories from his books and improvising pictures with imaginative suggestions from the children.

He will talk about his book, The Wall in the Middle of the Book, a funny and thought-provoking story of false perceptions and preconceived notions. The main character, a little knight, thinks that the wall keeps him safe, but we soon realise that he’s in for a surprise.

Jon will describe his process of creating a book: how he conceives a story, the way it evolves, what happens if he hits a snag, where he finds inspiration, and how he frees up his imagination – all vital knowledge for budding young authors and illustrators!
