PARENTS and pupils at a Worcester school joined forces with a local illustrator to produce their own picture books.

Illustrator Petr Horacek spent time with mothers, fathers and their children at St George's CofE Primary School in St George's Lane North. It was part of the school's Big Draw project, which is part of a national scheme to encourage children to draw more. Claire Horacek, who organised the drawing sessions, said: "It was really lovely to see the parents and children taking part together." Pictured are pupils Helen and Steven Garnett with Helen Zihni. 41182901
