Our stories

Working with the Stephen Joseph Theatre and the National Literacy Trust, local children were challenged to tell their stories. Over six weeks during the school holidays, there were sessions on world-building, character creation and plot development from local writing experts, and families were invited to send in their character and place ideas every week so they could be combined into one massive story by bestselling local children’s author Saviour Pirotta.

For my part, I created illustrations of the characters, places and events of the story as it developed.
