A free, fun and interactive storytelling and creative workshop is coming to Bootle this summer.
Dr. Denise Wright’s live presentation of Disgusting And Delicious Shapes features a sensory storytelling session with a professional actor, art making, and lots of opportunities to get involved.
The event is part of a North West tour of this groundbreaking new book that aims to improve early years learning and development in a fun way. The event in Bootle will be packed with props, sounds and audience participation.
Dr. Denise Wright is an early years expert and is helping transform the way pre-school children engage with early learning through her brand new book.
A fun and interactive story featuring her original character Sammy The Snail, Disgusting And Delicious Shapes has been receiving rave reviews from parents.
Drawing on years of experience as a child development professional and lecturer, Denise has created an immersive multi-sensory story designed to make learning both exciting and accessible for young children. Combining colours, shapes and sounds, the book follows Sammy on a mathematical adventure searching for delicious shapes.
Children are encouraged to become part of the snail’s adventure, creating a lively and memorable learning experience.
Families will have the chance to meet Denise and experience the story first-hand at this special book launch and storytelling event taking place at Kingsley & Co. children’s book shop in Bootle.
At 11am and 2pm, Denise will deliver one of the engaging storytelling sessions while parents will also have the opportunity to talk to the author and learn more about the inspiration behind the book.
Tickets are completely free and families will have the opportunity to buy the book on the day.
Using repetition and alliteration throughout the story, the book keeps children entertained while also supporting key areas of early learning and language development. The engaging format encourages participation, concentration and curiosity — helping young readers learn naturally through play and storytelling whilst the beautiful illustrations from Rosa Kusabbi mesmerise young minds.
Denise, who has worked with young children and families for over 25 years, said:
“The book is designed to develop learning in a fun, sensory way — featuring language, shapes, sizes, distance, numbers and time. The feedback from parents so far has been amazing and thanks to Arts Council funding I’ve been able to bring it to life with a professional actor. These live storytelling sessions have been incredible and the children have loved them.”
The live storytelling event will take place at Kingsley & Co in Bootle on Saturday 8th August from 11am until 2pm. Tickets are free and can be booked through the Eventbrite page here.
