7-year-old JoJo Begg has penned a short story called ‘Oh. Bird.’ with illustrations provided by her mother.
When Josie Begg told her mother Charlotte that she had written a short story, Charlotte was so impressed that she decided to create illustrations for it in the hope of getting it published.
Now, they are launching a Kickstarter campaign with a modest target of £200 to make that dream a reality. If successful, Josie hopes to donate some copies to the local library she loves in Newport.
Her mother Charlotte said:
“My daughter loves writing stories and reading them.”
“I think that there is a serious shortage of silliness in children’s books today, and hope our book brings a smile to your face.”
“Josie and I have loved working on this book together, and hope you love reading it too.”
Without spoiling the plot, Island Echo can reveal that the story revolves around a little bird who lost his voice only for his friends to help him find it again.
The budding young author has 2 more works in the pipeline and could have an illustrious literary career before her so the first edition of ‘Oh. Bird.’ could be priceless in days to come.
You can donate to their Kickstarter campaign here.
