About this video
Drop into the studio of author and illustrator Alison Lester, and take a journey through the illustrations in her much-loved book, Are we there yet?
Along the way you’ll see how Alison uses watercolours and pencils, and also some nifty stencil and photocopying techniques.
The results are simple and heart-warming pictures that introduce children to a sense of travel and adventure.
Alison also explains how her book is loosely inspired by an actual road trip she did with her family.
