What if your students / pupils could "articulate" and share their thoughts and ideas before they could even spell their own names?
The create your own storybook programme unlocks the power of literature in children — without having to write a single word if that is there usual way of working; for now at least.
It’s a workshop, which can be taught by anyone, or a "subliminal" toolkit you can drop into any lesson to let kids generate complex ideas they cannot yet verbalise.
It feels like a cheat code for literacy & language, and children love it!

The Intent
At Lily Whisker Co., our intent is to redefine storytelling as a foundational tool for the entire primary curriculum. We believe that storytelling is not merely a subcategory of English, but a powerful vehicle for teaching Art, History, Science, Geography, and Mathematics. By removing initial barriers to learning, and building our programme with scaffolding embedded, we allow every child to articulate complex thoughts and feelings through imagination and artistic creation.
The Implementation
Our 'Create Your Own Storybook' program implements a multimodal approach to learning. We deliver high-level literary devices—such as metaphors, similes, and semantic fields—in accessible, bitesize chunks. We specifically support inclusion by leveraging the unique skills of learners with barriers to traditional learning, turning doodles and visual imagination into profound academic techniques. Our method encourages children to treat a story as a scientific hypothesis, testing solutions to problems to build critical thinking and resilience.
The Impact
The impact of our work goes beyond the classroom. We foster emotional intelligence by encouraging pupils/students to design diverse characters and appreciate the perspectives of others. Our pupils/students do not just learn to write; they learn to solve problems, communicate with confidence, and see themselves as creators. For the educator, we provide a trusted, structured framework that reduces pressure while bringing out the absolute best in every young mind.
