We have been blown away by some of the brilliant illustrations created by children who have taken part in Draw with Ed Vere, so we've put together a gallery of some wonderful pictures.
If you would like your child's drawing to be added to our gallery, please tweet us @BookTrust using the hashtag #DrawWithEdVere, mentioning your child's name (or initial) and age and confirming that you would like their picture to be included.
