Percy, an elementary teacher from Cambridge, had the children describe various parts of an imaginary character, then took those descriptions and drew a picture of it. Helping her above is Jillian Bjelan, 10, of Hensall. Percy told the children she likes writing about the "impossible" and the "amazing?' She added, "When you are a writer, you can make up anything you want."
