***WARNING***

We believe that picture books are for older readers, as well as for the little ones. This book is one for the big kids and is not suitable for young children. If you're a child, we think you should check with an adult first before watching. If your adult does think you can watch, ask them to watch the story with you, and talk to them about the book after watching. If you're a parent or educator, we strongly recommend that you watch this story first to make sure it's suitable for the children in your home, classroom or storytime.

The Sound of Picture Books: Home and Away is both a moving tribute to the late John Marsden—beloved author and humanitarian—and a unique opportunity for StoryBox Hub subscribers to experience the creative brilliance of Matt Ottley. Combining Marsden’s powerful text on the plight of asylum seekers with Ottley’s evocative illustrations and original orchestral score, this production brings the story to life in a deeply immersive way. Through music, art, and narration, Ottley invites audiences to engage with the emotional depth of the narrative like never before, showcasing the power of multimedia storytelling.
