Giving children a voice is very important for us and at our Little Writers workshop, we aim to inspire children to create their very own picture books using their stories and characters. Each picture book is important to us and we strive to publish each child’s book as an interactive eBook that can be kept as part of a child’s portfolio and shared with family and friends.
