Students created artworks to illustrate the pages of a children’s storybook entitled See Me, written by Tracey Defty-Rashid.

“I’m overwhelmed by the quality of the illustrations and was quite emotional when looking through them all,” Defty-Rashid said.

“The children were amazing in capturing the spirit of the story so well.”

Daisy received a framed copy of her artwork and a prize bag.
