Acclaimed children’s author sparks creativity

Young readers from Rand, Boree Creek, Mulwala, and other local schools had the opportunity to meet Beck, who shared insights on how he develops characters and writes compelling reads.

A highlight for students was learning how to draw Furball the Spy Cat, the main character from a popular release.

Federation Council mayor, Cheryl Cook said how the author helped students foster a love for reading from a young age.

“His ability to connect with the children and bring his characters to life was truly inspiring,” Cr Cook said.
