I receive a lot of suggested pages referring me to writing courses or writing services, but not all of them are genuine, or come with an encouraging and truthful message. Stella’s story is a 17-panel tale about the importance of creative rights:

Illustrated by Ezra Whittaker / Written by Toby Morris

“We are our stories. Books and stories written and published in Aotearoa New Zealand inspire, teach, ignite our imaginations and help us to make sense of who we are and of our life here.

When we value the creative rights of the people who write and make local books, it incentivises creativity and fuels more: more of our own stories in homes, classrooms, libraries and bookshops; more diverse stories about who we are; more inspirational ideas, more access to local knowledge.

Take a look at our website for more great reasons to value creative rights:”
