The Book With No Story is a surprisingly quirky creative writing resource for children and teens with wild imaginations. It is filled with 52 creature profiles from some of the author’s books. The eccentric, mixed media art profiles are accompanied by some of the creatures’ philosophical thoughts, weaving in and out of their outer worlds and inner emotional landscapes.
Children are encouraged to use the visual art profiles to write the creatures into new inside-out stories. An inside-out story lets us know what is happening on the outside of a creature, and also what the creature is experiencing on the inside. Children can also create their own creatures and write their inside-out stories using the prompts included at the end of the book.
The Book With No Story is part of the Young Philosophers Series dedicated to listening to and valuing children as natural philosophers. It is a celebration of diversity of thought which leads to questions around what would happen if we all thought the same? Are we alike or are we different? Do people’s needs differ? Is this good or bad or just what is? How often do we find a space and time to just wonder, wonder, wonder and think? Do we think too much? How do we not think? Do we believe everything that we think?

Through roles in schools, external literacy programs, theatre, and her books, she has endeavoured to awaken the philosopher within children and to encourage them to contemplate their own thoughts and ponder the nature of their curiosity. By enthralling them with vibrant narratives, intricate characters, evocative soundscapes, and above all, thought-provoking questions, she seeks to inspire a deeper engagement with the complexities of existence and the wonder of the human mind.
