This was a final year project. The brief was to tell a short story by whatever medium we chose. I chose to deliver a children’s book that had a moral to the story. I came up with three concepts and then chose one that I felt my target audience of Key stage 1 children, struggled with the most. This was being afraid of the dark. I chose to make to the follow a AA,BB rhyming pattern to make the flow better. My aim is to finish the book, have it physically printed and then create a simple animated version of the story, like the virtual read along storybooks.

Join Bella and Zurka on an unforgettable odyssey where fear transforms into wonder and the mysteries of the universe become their playground. Through their tale of bravery and companionship, “Bella’s Adventures: A Story of Friendship and Courage” reminds us that the night is not something to be feared, but to be embraced.
