This last Sunday the Academy Awards show was on, I hope that as you sit watching the fashion parade and watch the snippets of the films, that you also make the connection that many of these movies started out as a book, or a short story, or a picture book, or a screenplay, that it is someone creatively expressing themselves in words, and then a director instructs the actors how to communicate and display those words with action and emotion. I hope you heard in the acceptance speeches the stories of actors and directors who were so moved and inspired by a book that they believed it was worthy of a larger audience.
So here are a few that inspired me. One made by one of my favourite author/illustrators and the other made by one of my favourtie artists.
The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan
