Hello, I am Lula, a bird from Candy Island. What am I doing on this screen, talking to you? Well, I am going to be here as your main character during this lesson. Over the next few pages, we are going to learn about storytelling and illustration. We are going to read, write, and maybe even draw our own stories! Before we get started, I want to introduce you to the guy who helped me have a life, Ira! Hi Ira!
