Stuffed with creativity, this is a gorgeous picture book about Milo, a little boy who wanted a brand new story and the exciting journey he goes on to make up the story himself.
Making a story seems like a great idea, the only problem is that Milo’s not sure how to start. With a little help from his family, some real-life inspiration, and a lot of imagination, Milo’s story is soon off to a flying start.
Cleverly woven into the fabric of Milo’s journey, in a simple, accessible format, are all the elements of story – structure, content, and plot resolution as Naomi Jones gently encourages young readers and budding young writers to have the confidence to have a go at writing their own. Ana Gomez’s vibrant and energetic illustrations cleverly translates the way Milo takes ideas from the world around him and transforms them into imaginative ideas for his story.
We loved Milo’s finished story comic at the end of the book – a great idea and a real inspiration for children everywhere to have the confidence to write and share their own story.
Another brilliant collaboration from Naomi Jones and Ana Gomez, this is the perfect follow up to How to Catch a Rainbow.
