This collaborative children's book project, working with author, MC and public speaking coach Craig McGregor. It is illustrated in a fun and interactive way to encourage confidence in public speaking. With characters based on the authors personal connections it was a fun and challenging project that I was lucky enough to have creative licence with to explore and develop the visual story.

 

“You mean I have to stand up and say something in front of EVERYONE?”

​

"If you ask most people, they will probably say they don’t like to speak in front of a group of people, especially people they don’t know. At some point in their life they have had a negative experience and the fear of public speaking becomes real.

​

This story is about the family bonds of a 10-year-old girl, her dog and the grandfather who helps her overcome her fear of speaking in front of her class. It is a marvellous tale based on real life events that affect school children, teenagers and many adults.

​

You will perform hilarious actions and exaggerations that will have you laughing out loud.

​

In the process of reading this book your confidence will improve, and you will learn skills that the listener and the reader can use.

​

The more you read it, the more you will love it."
