Storytelling and creative education has to be the best job in the world.<\/p>\n<p>My reward mazimus is witnessing the excitement in the eyes of my young readers. I love it when the children rush up to me excited about what they now <strong><em>CAN<\/em><\/strong> do with all they have learned. It is so much fun to ask the question, &#8220;was that fun?&#8221; and get the response, &#8220;It was AWESOME!&#8221; I am especially enjoying the introduction of my cheeky puppet tortoise, <strong><em>AT<\/em><\/strong> (pictured above hiding in his shell) and friends. You know you&#8217;ve hit the sweet spot when all the children unanimously sigh, &#8220;ooooh!&#8221; when I have to put AT away. I have fallen in love with him also. He has come fully alive over the sessions. I didn&#8217;t realise how much fun puppetry was until now!<\/p>\n<p>So far, I have the pleasure of presenting to over 1300 students and I have more to visit still. Tomorrow, I join other authors and illustrators for the Ford Street Literary Festival at Scotch College in Hawthorn. Victoria Lane (author of Celia and Nonna) and myself will lead workshops for grades 4,5 and 6 tomorrow amongst lots of fun happenings during the day.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4755\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/puppets-and-storytelling-during-book-week\/bookweek-author-visit-schools-grange\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kayleenwest.com.au\/portfolio\/wp-content\/uploads\/BookWeek-author-visit-schools-Grange.jpg?fit=1000%2C667&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,667\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Book Week author illustrator visit at The Grange Prep-12 College.
