J.K. Rowling has written a new children’s book called “The Ickabog” which is being released online in instalments, over several weeks, a chapter at a time.
However, so far, the online book doesn’t have any illustrations! J.K. Rowling is publishing a hard copy of the book later this year and has set readers a challenge: to illustrate her story to be published in the book.
Your challenge for the next three weeks will be to read the daily instalments of “The Ickabog” and use your imagination and creativity to create some illustrations for this section of the story. You could keep them for yourself, email them into school or enter the online competition using the link below on the website.
Here’s the link to the story: https://www.theickabog.com/read-the-story/ . The first two chapters are called ‘King Fred the Fearless’ and ‘The Ickabog’. You could illustrate the settings, characters, first key events – there’s some great metaphors and similes in these chapters so be as creative as you can! You could draw your illustrations using pencils or crayons, or you could event paint them.
