About The Author:

Sarah Coyle is the children’s author of The Biggest Story, illustrated by Dan Taylor, and Once You’re Asleep, illustrated by Carolina Rabei. Sarah lives in the Chilterns, likes running and drinks warm milk before bedtime like the old woman she hopes to one day become. She has always enjoyed make-believe, but reality’s a nice place to visit.

 

About The Book:

Pick a Story is the ONLY series where young readers choose between three completely different worlds – allowing them to change the story as it happens. Children are excited by having choice and a feeling of agency, and it fires their imaginations. Readers choose the direction of the adventure on every page. With endless story paths to be taken, the adventure is always different. Each page includes an activity, such as search-and-find, odd-one-out, mazes and more, woven seamlessly into the narrative – perfect for immersing and engaging young readers.
