A beautiful story about turning your dreams into reality with the support of family, from renowned Trinidadian storyteller Grace Hallworth.
Arty has a magical dream about flying a wonderful kite made of many colours. But when his mother wakes him, he realises that it was just his imagination.
Will Arty’s family be able to help him make his dream come true of making his own marvellous kite in time for the kite festival? And will he know how to fly it without the help of his friends?
Grace Hallworth was a celebrated children’s librarian and storyteller. Born in 1929 in Trinidad, Grace moved to the UK on a Churchill Fellowship following internships at Toronto and New York City public libraries. She was then appointing children’s librarian for Hertfordshire Libraries until her retirement, when she became the first chair of the Society of Storytelling.
Grace published several collections of stories and rhymes set in the Caribbean, preserving and sharing the rich tradition of African folklore in the West Indies that has been passed through generations orally.
Sophie Bass is a London-based illustrator of mixed British and Trinidadian heritage. She creates work inspired by music, social justice, mythology and symbolism. Sophie previously illustrated John Agard’s Windrush Child.
