“Is
your dog really named Rocket?”
“How
did you learn to draw so well?”
“Do you
draw every single picture?”
“Where
do you get your ideas for your books?”
“How
long does it take to make a book?”
“Do you
love our school?”
Tad
Hills was ambushed by our very curious and enthusiastic young readers and
writers! He tried to answer as many questions as possible!
Tad
Hills is an author and illustrator of such beautiful books as Rocket Learns to
Read and Duck and Goose. We were privileged to spend time with him while he
shared some of his stories with us, talked about how he comes up with ideas for
his books and showed us how he draws the illustrations.
Tad
Hills also spent some time in our classroom demonstrating how he starts his
illustrations and he told us that “drawing eyebrows gives the characters life
and feelings!” The students drew from the initials in their names and from one
of his duck pictures that he put together with simple shapes. He was very
impressed with our classroom library that included student books!
A quote
from his website…
