Look at your hands. Examine the creases, the smooth skin, the veins, the colour. Pick up your pen, ready to write, what stories will your hand share today? The Mount Lilydale Mercy College community was fortunate to have author Kirsty Murray visit to inspire and embrace the joy of storytelling at an evening event on Wednesday 26 April.
It provided families with the opportunity to explore creative writing with discussion and a mini writing workshop activity. Highlights of the evening included Kirsty sharing her personal stories about a reader who mailed her a historical book once owned by one of Kirsty’s ancestors, how books Kirsty encountered in the State Library connected with her own characters and the sharing of the stories written by the evening’s participants.
The night concluded with a door prize raffle where families were able to take home one of Kirsty’s fabulous books.
