"Great explanation of how you came to write the book, your experiences with contracting, facing fears, life, what skills you have...
Children most interested in the process... past experience, creation of illustrations, style of writing, how the text and illustrations matched up."
"Related well to children... common fears of an author... keep on trying - good value to reinforce, good visual approach. Good sequence of steps to produce a finished book."
"Love the CD and story."
"Mr. Mac spent all day in the library at Onerahi School. All the classes were able to visit him.
Children really enjoyed hearing about how he wrote his book, overcame his fears - followed the creation of his book from the beginning stages right through to the finished product.
He has an easy-going manner with the children, encourages them to ask questions and become involved.
Thanks so much for coming and sharing your story with us."
