NCL “International Illustrated Book Master's Seminar”
NCL “International Illustrated Book Master's Seminar”

Picture books have enormous influence in the language learning and development of children. They are very important teaching materials for teachers. The NCL yearly invites well-known illustrated book authors both locally and from abroad to promote the reading of illustrated books. Furthermore, teachers, writers, and illustrated books promotion units are invited to come together to exchange views. Each time this draws a packed audience.

The NCL invited an internationally acclaimed Australian children's book illustrator, Mr. Graeme Base to give a talk on his life experience and his works on March 5. Many of his works are already translated in Taiwan such as "The Legend of the Golden Snail," "Jungle Drums," "Uno's Garden," and "The Waterhole". Representative Ms Cathy Raper of the Australian Office Taipei attended the lecture.

Mr. Bass' illustrations have a refined style. He uses vibrant and lively colors. When one sees the beautiful nautical map or the animals in the forest illustrated inside the cover of the book, one eagerly looks forward to reading the story. Furthermore, the story is not only very imaginative, there is a strong narrative communicating an implicit concept of ecological conservation. It is indeed very educational. For this reason, his works have been called green picture books. They have won the American Green Earth Book Award, the Australian Wilderness Society's annual Environment Award for Best Illustrated Book of the year and many other awards.
