Axel Scheffler author visit

On the back of the Taipei International Book Exhibition, we were very lucky to get author/illustrator Axel Scheffler to visit our school for a couple of hours. He was so kind and patient with the kids, and insisted on drawing a character in every single book that they brought to him for signing. His minders were frantic when he was running over time so he insisted that we box up all the books still not signed and he would take them back to his hotel to do that evening. What a guy! His session with the students was just superb. His easy manner and rye wit were a hit with everyone. I was very star struck. We've been really lucky this year to have so many amazing people visit our school. It's been hard to fit them all in but I'm so glad that I went all out to pack the calendar with exciting events.
