Chris Riddell
What a wonderful day we've had! Chris Riddell was fantastic! He's inspired us all, drawing illustrations live while telling entertaining anecdotes. Our year 7 competition winners and our year 8 and 9 "live drawers" enjoyed lunch with the author and illustrator and had the opportunity to show him their work, which he was very impressed with. Both students and staff from ECC and visiting schools have gone home happy ready to read their newly signed Riddell books. Thank you Chris and team for a brilliant day!
