Spillman is predominantly a children’s author and has penned books like the Izzy series, The Strange Story of Felicity Frown and The Great Storyteller.

“You will read the books that you like, but you should also read books that you don’t like because only that will help you write better. It can be books like Panchatantra also, it has amazing stories, one should love stories,” he said.

He also taught students the nitty-gritty of writing stories. This was followed by a question and answer session with students. Bipin Pote, trustee of The Cambria International School, said, “We hope children learnt from these lessons shared by Spillman and try to instil them.”
