Introduction








CAN YOUR PUPILS HELP US ILLUSTRATE OUR NEXT DISASTER BOOK?

ShelterBox and children’s author and illustrator Michael Foreman are once again challenging UK primary school pupils to bring a unique disaster story to life with their pictures.

The Day the Bombs Fell is a story we have written to encourage reflection and understanding. All it needs now is illustrations! We want children across the nation to explore this global theme and through their artwork help others think about it too.

Michael Foreman will select the winning pictures to be published in our 4th disaster book. The winners will be invited to an exciting London book launch, where they will take part in a special illustration workshop with Michael!

“An experience in developing skills right across the curriculum - activities like these enable our children to grow in their status as global citizens.”
Sarah Bannister, Monteney Primary School, Sheffield
