One of our favorite things about school visits is coming face to face with walls of work inspired by the Jaguar Stones books. The students often blow us away with their ideas. We’ve been given stories, poems, posters, animations, paintings, collages, brochures, postcards (sent by Max from the jungle), and wonderful 3-D projects - like the intricate character dolls below. One student even made a range of outfits for each character and hung them on tiny hangers in custom closets. We love to bring home as much work as possible and hang it in the room where we write. Here are some examples of the amazing creations we saw on our Spring book tour - click on the category headings for a closer look. If you’d like you see your project displayed here, please e-mail us a photograph.
