This week in bookmaking, we are learning about the Australian author and illustrator Nick Bland.  Today was our immersion lesson where we explored Nick Bland books and noticed the ways he writes and illustrates.  Children named and noticed crafting techniques that Nick Bland uses such as BIG AND BOLD and onomatopoeia.

The video below shows us who Nick Bland is through a short clip of him accepting a children’s book award:

Check out our students reading Nick Bland books.  We then had a discussion and brainstormed what the students noticed about his books.
