What if you were the author of the next unforgettable story? Join award-winning children’s author Emily Lim-Leh and book champion Hwee Goh for a lively, hands-on session where kids dream up their own book ideas and learn the secret art of writing irresistible back-cover summaries – called blurbs – that make readers want more.
Through fun examples from brilliant children’s books, participants will explore different storytelling styles before crafting a catchy pitch for their very own imagined book. Bring a laptop, tablet, or pen and paper – and get ready to think like a real author!
Suitable for children and young adults.
