A huge thank you to the lovely Soph for hosting a fab Musical Storytelling workshop! 🎶📖✨

Our young storytellers explored how books can become so much more than words on a page, creating beats, sounds and their very own chorus inspired by a story!

Such a brilliant, creative session and a lovely way to spend part of our Summer of Surprises 💛

Thank you, Soph, for bringing the story to life in a whole new way! 🎵
