An Interview With Elyas (aged 8)
The Letterpress Project has asked young readers to do a short interview for us. We asked them five questions and said they could say as much or as little as you want to. We also invited them to do any drawings or include any pictures they wanted to draw for us.
Elyas is eight years old and lives in Birmingham.
Apart from reading and enjoying books, he has many other interests to keep him busy. He especially enjoys drawing with his big sister who is eighteen and studying art at school.
He has loads of toys at home and loves playing with them, particularly his dinosaurs. He is starting to learn how to do Karate and is hoping to get very good at it so that he can earn his first belt.
He also spends lots of time looking after and enjoying his two pet Parakeets called Tina and Mac.
