minutesLa création d'un livre pour enfant vous semble enfantin? Mais comment communiquer l'émotion, comment développer des personnages et une intrigue, comment inspirer et captiver les enfants en dix mots, cent mots ou six cents mots?
Comment, en tant qu'adulte, pouvons-nous créer une voix et une perspective d'enfant?
Dans cet atelier nous examinerons le pouvoir des images et des mots dans la littérature pour enfants.
Nous explorerons l'importance de la lecture pour enfants qui leur ouvre une fenêtre sur le monde et comment l'accès à une bibliothèque publique peut encourager et enrichir cette possibilité.
Nous ferons un court exercice d'écriture sur place pour revisiter l'émotion et l'émerveillement de l'enfance.
Célébrez avec nous la joie de lire à l’occasion du mois des bibliothèques.
Marie-Louise Gay est l’auteure et l’illustratrice de plus de soixante-dix albums pour enfants, entre autres, la série Stella et Sacha, Caramba, Un Million de Questions!, Mustafa et Où est Sydney?Les trois frères, Zig et Zag et L’arbre de Lily.
Ses livres ont été traduits dans une vingtaine de langues. Ses histoires ont été adaptées pour le théâtre, la marionette et pour une série télévisée: Stella et Sacha.
Ses livres ont remporté plusieurs prix parmi lesquels, le Prix du Gouverneur Général(deux fois), le prix M. Christie, le prix Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz, le Prix Alvine-Bélisle, le prix Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award. Elle a été deux fois finaliste pour le Prix Hans Christian Andersen et le Prix Astrid Lindgren. www.marielouisegay.com

Do you love to write? Is writing the air you breathe, or is there ink in your veins?
The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a collection of people who love to write.
We meet weekly to read from text we have written on our own time during the previous week, and engage in other writing activities.
This is not a class on writing, or a workshop for manuscripts. Instead, we are people who love to write and share our works.
There are those who mostly listen rather than write, those who write prolifically but only share with the group, and a broad spectrum in between.
If your interest is in the love of writing, this group may be for you.
