Another busy month!
Chris Haughton delights the crowds
Chris started out as a graphic designer (even working in Hong Kong for a short spell) and the children were fascinated to find out how he had come up with the ideas for his books and how he constructed some of the illustrations piece by piece with cut paper. He spent a great deal of time signing and individually naming each of the books ordered by the children and they have been thrilled to receive them.
Hong Kong Young Writers Award open for submissions
Calling all talented writers and artists!
We are looking for entries from Peak School in this year's Hong Kong Young Writer's Award.
Students need to enter a piece of writing, or an artistic representation about Journey To The West, the iconic piece of Chinese literature which has been translated into many forms of entertainment - TV series, movies, graphic novels and more. Students will use their imaginations to create a fiction story that relates to the classic tale, or research a non fiction piece about Xuanzang, the young monk who took the journey across China 1400 years ago, or about Wu Cheng'en, the author who wrote the original story. Entries can also be in the form of a poem, or a piece of art.The Anthology
