Back in February, I had the pleasure of leading a Drawing and Writing Workshop at Hummingbird Elementary, where students created original characters to fit into the fantasy world of my book, The Land of the Night Sun.

At the school’s Expressive Arts and Book Fair, they proudly showcased their drawings and short scenes featuring their unique creations—which ranged from heroes and critters to ghosts, monsters, and even a talking lantern!

A huge thank you to the wonderful teachers who supported the workshop, and of course to the students, for making the experience so inspiring. I can’t wait to see where their stories take them next!
