STORIES FROM THE RAINFOREST AND BEYOND

This book was written and illustrated by students who attended a Writer's Camp at Paluma Environmental Education Centre in October, 2021. The purpose of the camp was to expose children to the natural environment, creative writing and illustrating. The children experienced a variety of lived experiences in the rainforest in addition to, a treasure hunt, code breaking, story-telling and nature cycles. The aim was to encourage children to connect to their environment with their head, heart, and hands to inspire their creativity and imagination. The camp was hosted by two local Townsville authors; Matt B Lewis and Krissy Regan, who helped the children to take their own stories and to become published authors.
