Rainy by Euan

When we did our book tour for Sunny, we found that one of the exciting things about the books is that they inspire children to make their own illustrated books or animations. This is partly because they are photographic, so they are perhaps less daunting than drawing or painting at a professional level. Also, our dioramas often incorporate everyday objects (such as pencils for telephone poles) and this sparks all kinds of ideas....

One of the things we'd like to do with this blog is showcase some of the amazing and cool responses that we come across from young readers.

Here is the director's cut of the short film Rainy, inspired by the test photos for Foggy, by Euan.

Rainy

When we were first developing Foggy, we considered calling the book Rainy. Our friend Sara O'Leary, who wrote When You Were Small emailed us asking about the project. We sent her some top secret test photos of Cloud and Windy (see above). Then something quite cool happened. Sara's son Euan saw the email, and made his own Rainy story. We will post it soon.
