This was the first story we did last week for the Narrative Storytelling Group for this summer. 6 more to go. I will write a post about the second story which we did yesterday ( I hope I don’t forget to do so).

~o0o~

Andrew and Jane are siblings who have lots of toys. When Jane’s doll was broken they took a journey to Toyland to see the Toymender so that they can have their toys fixed. They travel to see many different kinds of lands: Land of Sweets, Land of Goblins, Land of Upside Down, Land of Birds, and finally to the Toyland.

They saw lots of broken toys in the Toyland Hospital. They even saw their old and broken wooden toy puppet. They promised to take care of this puppet and they began their journey home. When they got home, they thought they were dreaming until they saw their broken and old wooden puppet looking like new.

The Land of Sweets, done by my son, Julian. The pink trees are made of cotton candy so we used crumpled pink Japanese papers to put some body into the illustrations.

This is one of the toy soldiers guarding the gates of Toyland. The coloring and decorations on the trees were made by another student in the group, J.
