Embark on a flight of imagination together in a story that goes beyond the book! Learn to turn a storybook reading into an immersive adventure in this parent-child session designed to spark the imagination and provide a creative space for family bonding. Led by Woods in the Books Creative Resident Myra Loke, this programme encourages and assists parent-child pairs in coming up with ideas for all kinds of imaginative play for education and leisure activities.

About the Creative Residency
Inspired by a desire to extend the reach of picture books beyond the book, the Woods in the Books Creative Residency supports creatives to create a body of work that designs experimental literary forms or programmes to engage the community. Over a 6-month period, our resident will explore and push the boundaries of picture book literacy.
