Truly, utterly and completely in distress.. or is she?
This isn't your ordinary damsel and she's here to show the Knight in Shining Armour, Prince Charming and everyone else for that matter exactly who's in charge. Because if one thing is for certain, she is absolutely NOT a damsel in distress!
Join us for this interactive Women's Day Special virtual storytelling session of Bethan Stevens' "A Damsel not in Distress!", an unconventional fairytale that breaks stereotypes and shows who's the Woman in Charge!
The storytelling session will be followed by a curated writing activity.
