Aren’t children’s imaginations beautifully vivid and all so entertaining  When children create by drawing and or writing, it really is a sneak peek directly into their hearts and minds.

An opportunity to gain insight into seeing life through their lens and how they feel about the world around them, from their own unique point of view.

The importance of nurturing a child's love for reading, writing, and illustrating cannot be overstated. These creative pursuits are not just hobbies; they are gateways to endless possibilities, empowering children to explore their innermost thoughts, emotions, and dreams.

Now imagine an opportunity where children can be the architects of their own stories, where their vivid imaginations are unleashed onto the pages of a book with their own drawings, and their artistic talents bring colourful illustrations brought to life and yours to keep and cherish forever.

Well, this is not just a fantasy but a reality as our special guest today, Sophia Stefanos Managing Director of Schoolyard Stories who brings these opportunities to schools is here to talk to us about the importance of why we should nurture children's love for reading, writing, and illustrating and how we encourage children to embark on creative journeys to develop their literary and creative talents.

We ask Sophia questions including:

Q1- Why do you think it’s so important for children to express their thoughts and emotions through storytelling?

Q2- What are your thoughts on the correlation between the two?

Q3- Tell us what inspired you to create Schoolyard Stories

Q4 -What are your top ten reasons why children should get excited about reading, writing and illustrating through each of them with us now?

Q5- I understand the process of writing, editing, and revising their work can help children refine their understanding of grammar, spelling, and syntax of sentence structure. Tell us a little bit more about that.

Q6- I understand that Book publishing for children is open-ended. Can you confirm what that means?

Q7- What are some specific examples of these open-ended opportunities?

Q8- This initiative is an excellent way to celebrate Book Week, how can parents and schools get involved?
