A huge thank you to the team at Wigan Today for running a piece on The Shoebox Fairies and our work with The Manchester Christmas Shoebox Appeal!

I really enjoy stories like The Shoebox Fairies because they bring imagination and local storytelling together in a simple but meaningful way. Community newspapers sharing creative work can inspire young readers and new writers as well. I think more authors should preserve these kinds of stories instead of letting them fade away over time. A friend of mine recently worked with a book publishing company to organize family stories into a printed collection, and it became something special for future generations.
