EWS023: Storytelling for Children… and what we can learn from them

In today’s episode I’m chatting with a guest who has published 18 picture books and two novels. He is a highly accomplished and awarded author and illustrator from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. He is Peter Carnavas.

Engage With Story often takes a more business or marketing focus when exploring storytelling so I’m excited to bring today’s interview to you as I speak with one of Australia’s best children’s authors and illustrators.

In this episode

The power of story to engage young and old
Where he finds inspiration for his work
How beauty and sadness play a role in telling engaging stories
The importance of not ‘dumbing down’ a story - even when you’re audience is pre-school aged.
