First of all, I want to thank you all for being good representatives of Bellmere. You listened well, followed orders, and acted appropriately. I was very impressed.
The conference was equal parts about the importance of reading and the importance of believing in yourself to achieve anything you want to.
Here are some of the pictures that I took. You can find the person's website under the photos.
Our first author was Kean Soo. He is the author of Jellaby. He talked to us about the process that he goes through to not only write a Graphic Novel, but to illustrate one as well. He also showed us pictures of the different tools he uses for both writing and illustrating.

Next we heard some funny and scary story's from Dan Yashinsky. He told us an old folk tale and talked about how sometimes stories tell us a moral, and sometimes they are just for fun.

After lunch (which was yummy pizza, chips and juice!) we got to hear Maestro Fresh Wes sing. He talked about not giving up. One of our classmates even joined him on stage to dance freestyle. It was great to see them up there dancing away!
It was a great day!
