Description
The Book With No Story is filled with 52 creature profiles from some of the author’s books. But they found the stories so boring that they simply had to run away. One by one, they were caught and added to this book. The visual art profiles are accompanied by some of the creatures’ philosophical thoughts, weaving in and out of their outer worlds and inner emotional landscapes.
Children are encouraged to use the visual art profiles to write the creatures into new inside-out stories. An inside-out story lets us know what is happening on the outside of a creature, and also what the creature is experiencing on the inside. Children can also create their own creatures and write their inside-out stories using the prompts included at the end of the book.
The Book With No Story is the first book in the Young Philosophers Series dedicated to listening to and valuing children as natural philosophers.
Advance Praise
"I really love the inside-outside concept. I feel it offers a depth of understanding to the human condition that - together with the imagery and gorgeous gorgeous delicious language - is rare. Makes me feel like someone understands me - perhaps a little like Amelie. The characters' eccentricity felt familiar to me. We are all weird and it makes me feel less alone - less alien." - Claudine Anderson, Artistic Director of Mercury Wings & Mum, Gold Coast Queensland
