“These touching 10-word stories of sibling bonds, beloved pets and the healing power of the natural world should encourage 4+ storytellers to try creating their own.” Guardian

“A creative springboard for readers to pour out their hearts in ten words.” The Sunday Times

There is much to glean from Coelho’s second collection of Ten-Word Tiny Tales; the power a short story can have to grab your attention; the transformative affect illustrations can have upon the words of an author and how love can come in many forms.” The Irish Examiner

Is it possible to spin a tale of love using just ten words? It most certainly is!

In this unique and magnificent compendium designed to spark the imagination, Joseph Coelho brings us cherished moments between siblings, worlds where nature blooms and heals, and touching tales of beloved pets ... all in just ten words! Each tale has been paired with one of the finest illustrators working today – and, together, the words and pictures will create a space for creativity as young readers imagine how the story might unravel. They might even be inspired to pen a ten-word tiny tale of their own!

Written by former Waterstones Children's Laureate and winner of the Yoto Carnegie Medal for Writing, Joseph Coelho, and with two creative writing challenges at the back, this is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day and all those ready to unleash their imaginations.
