 Step inside your story. Hello, I'm children's author Joseph Coyle. We're asking children across the UK to become the stars of their own stories. We want you to make a concertina book into which you'll write your story. We want to show that anyone and everyone can be the hero of a wonderful tale, and anyone and everyone can be an author. What will you put into your book? What makes you you? What do you look like? What do you hate? What are the things you say and the things you do? Is your hair swishy like a mermaid or spiky like a punk? What does your voice sound like? If your laugh was an animal, what would it be? What makes you so shy? Your skin rages like a river. Do you live in a place where you can hear the sounds of swooping birds, trundling traffic, the whoops and cheers of the playground? A place that smells of bread from the bakery, the salty sea, cars and motorbikes. What place do you love the most? The sweet shop, the library, your bed? What makes you smile? What makes your smile stretch upwards like an upside down rainbow? Who are the special people in your life? And perhaps most importantly, what's your spark? What are your powers, your laugh, your kindness, your imagination? Are you a wordsmith, a brilliant footballer, a baker? You could bring an adventure into your book, a trip to the beach, a walk down your high street, a time you discovered something that changed everything, a time that you overcame a challenge or found your voice. Perhaps you could add a sprinkle of magic and step inside your very own story.
