Reading book of the month

Journey by Aaron Becker – Book Trailer (youtube.com)

‘Journey’ is a beautifully illustrated picture book about a girl who draws a magic door on her bedroom wall and through it escapes into a world where wonder, adventure, and danger abound. Red marker in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon, and a flying carpet that carry her on a spectacular journey toward an uncertain destiny. When she is captured by a sinister emperor, only an act of tremendous courage and kindness can set her free.

Challenge 1
Your challenge is to imagine yourself stepping through a red door. What do you see as you step into the ‘new’ location? Draw your scene using any media e.g. water colours, felt tips, colouring pencils or paint.

Challenge 2
Your challenge is to choose your method of transport and create the scene that you arrive in e.g. Outer Space with a red rocket or under the sea with a red whale. This can be 2D or 3D – perhaps use a shoebox to create the scene?

Happy crafting – we can’t wait to see where your imagination takes you!
