# Book covers for World Book Day

As part of our World Book Day celebrations, some students in Year 8 listened to an online webinar from the writer Tom Palmer.

Students learnt all about Tom's creative process when developing a story for publication and listened with interest when he talked about the need for the design of a book's front cover to be accurate and authentic.

This inspired them to create a front cover design for a new book of their own choice or interest. A particular favourite of the class was 'King Cow'!
