Stories in a Bottle

A Living Story is always sent *to someone*. Common destinations include: - an older person who is lonely - a group of elders in a care home listening together - another class in a distant school, possibly in another country For elders, the Living Story might show: - the children reading or acting their story - the drawings slowly revealed as the tale unfolds - subtitles or translation overlays to make it understandable For the children, a return version can be built that shows: - the elder’s reaction, smile or simple thank you - a short recorded reply or blessing - their own work framed and valued as art, not just homework The same Living Story artefact can carry both directions, or two paired versions can be created, one for each side.
