Jenny Sommervell at Awahono School

On Tuesday, 28 of August Jenny Sommervell came to our school. She told us about her books and read to us The Day Dad Blew Up the Cowshed and The Eel Hunt. She also told us that her books are based on true stories from her family and her sister was the illustrator for all her books. My favorite book by her is The Day Dad Blew Up the Cowshed because I think it's quite a personal story. She said writing takes a lot of time and work.
