We Are All Storymakers

Author Liz Flanagan will talk about her award-winning Wildsmith series (illustrated by Joe Todd-Stanton) in this one-of-a-kind workshop and talk!

Liz will describe how she drew on her own experience of fostering cats and her love of wild places when writing these stories. Then, she will lead children through a series of accessible exercises to inspire new ideas.

These steps invite children to imagine a new story using material from their own lives: we are all Storymakers!

This event can either be delivered in person or online.
