“Excellent. Julia is explaining extremely well and using pucture books to illustrate what she is explaining. The exercises are really useful too to help practice what she is teaching.
The course notes are very useful. If you wanted to improve I would have preferred to be able to access notes per lesson rather than anyone long document.”

“Really enjoyable course. Sharing books about different authors gives a greater insight and the exercises at the end of each session have been very helpful. I am learning so much to help me begin my own journey of writing my first picture book with my daughter.”

“Excellent course – insightful, engaging and inspiring!
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in writing children's picture books. Julia Donaldson shares invaluable insights into her creative process, with engaging video lessons, practical exercises and contributions from talented guests, including Axel Scheffler.
As a primary school educator, I also found many of the techniques relevant to teaching creative and narrative writing, particularly in Key Stage 2. The course is well structured, informative and accessible, even for those with no previous writing experience.
A fantastic learning experience that has inspired me to begin writing my own children's picture book!”
