Once upon a time in a home not far away

Can’t find the time to trawl the internet looking for fun creative ideas for the young writers and illustrators in your household? Don’t worry, we did! We’ve been casting a huge net over the internet researching authors and illustrators for our next Imagine a Story schools project. Yes, there is a light at the end of the home-school tunnel!

Imagine a Story is one of our primary schools projects at the Southbank Centre. Each year we work with a celebrated author and illustrator to support over a thousand schoolchildren to become published authors. We always try to find diverse and up-and-coming authors and illustrators who will help the children to see themselves in their writing, and maybe one day even see themselves as authors and illustrators, too. It’s pretty great!
