Dedicated to fostering and inspiring creative talent, The Sound of Picture Books goes beyond the confines of a “picture book”, offering a deeper experience of narratives through performances, workshops, masterclasses and online resources. This makes it perfect for educational settings, fostering dialogue around important topics such as the environment, refugees, creativity and bravery.
Educational Access & Resources
Music Videos (with narration)
We are proud to partner with StoryBox Hub to give online audiences and teachers/schools access for the first time to the narrated videos, with accompanying music an imagery for each book in The Sound of Picture Book series. Beginning with the release of Home and Away (mid-2025), Stickboy (late 2025) and Tree in early 2026. More titles to come!
Please visit StoryBox Hub to view the new release videos.
