Bright, Brave, but Broken | a tale for National Storytelling Week

Despite his yellow feathers, Billy the bird can’t fly. But when Owl tells him of a magic broom that grants the gift of flight, can he overcome the obstacles to reach it?

Probably the most amazing thing about this story is that it popped out of the head of young Alex from the Year 3–4 class of a UK primary school! That makes it the perfect story for proving what YOU can do with a little bit of creativity and determination...
