Description, Sample Pages & Details

    • Whether through words, images or both, this package is all about creating stories.
    • It requires brainstorming, imaginative problem-solving, as well as flexible, clever and critical thinking. And it will nudge you to take storytelling risks.
    • We provide 115 themes or ideas that are universal. They're commonly found in books, in films and across the overall human experience – you’ll recognize them instantly.
    • You take these thematic seeds and let a story spring up and take shape around them. Some will be easier than others!

Age range: All ages.
