Keep things simple by just thinking about the beginning, middle and end of our story.
The head does not hear something until the heart has listened.
James Stephens, poet and philosopher
No one can argue with the power of storytelling and igniting a love of learning is what we all strive for. The idea is not just to fill children's heads with forgettable facts but to cement that knowledge and encourage questions that will spark a life-long love of learning.
All of our topics start with a story and have spin-off lessons and resources that show where stories can lead you. You can use our books digitally, on your whiteboard or table computers or buy hard copies from our shop.
