STORIES INTO SCHOOLS PROGRAMME

Here at Step into Stories, we are passionate about inspiring the readers and writers of tomorrow. That is why, in 2024, we launched our Stories into Schools Programme, which aims to provide a free author/poet/illustrator/storyteller visit to each of the schools in Bewdley. There is something magical about meeting the person who created the world you have travelled to in your mind and brought to life the characters that you have loved.
