BY STORY BOX LIBRARY
At Story Box Library, we’ve got three new stories that reflect and celebrate the diversity of our communities and experiences.
There’s a Bull Ant in The Bedroom, a hilarious tale written and read by Adam Wallace and illustrated by Shane McGowan, involves an unlikely cast of characters, a fierce Bull Ant and a hero who saves the day from the chaos in the household!
Carl Merrison and Hakea Hustler’s My Deadly Boots, with illustrations by Samantha Campbell, celebrates the joy of being who you are, and finding confidence in being yourself, a story for both footy (and non-footy) fans alike! We’re delighted to add this newest story to our First Nations’ Stories, read by the proud Noongar, Minang and Yingaarda man, Andrew Krakouer, to the Story Box Library collection.
And finally, we have the awe-inspiring WWI tale, The Good Son: A Story from the First World War Told in Miniature, an emotional story (best suited for children over the age of 10) read by author and illustrator Pierre-Jacques Ober and Felicity Coonan, with illustrations also by Jules Ober.
These stories reflect who we are and the magic that storytelling can weave for us.
