Today marks the final stop in the Snowy’s Christmas blog tour. It’s been heaps of fun touring around the blogosphere, answering questions, sharing our experiences as author and illustrator, being reviewed and more.
But of all the posts, I think today has brought the most joy. The blogger, Mabel, shared the book with a class of school students, and in her blog post shares their responses. Some wonderful insights.
You can see the post at the Tales I Tell Blog.

You must write for children in the same way you do for adults, only better.

You have to write whichever book it is that wants to be written. And then, if it’s going to be too difficult for grown-ups, you write it for children.
