For this special half-term Halloween edition of Story Space, meet the author and illustrator of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost, Leila, the Perfect Witch and Vlad, the Fabulous Vampire. Hear about a vampire’s quest to be himself, find his community and embrace his love of pink, and other stories from the same monster universe.
Make your own paper doll of Vlad, and experiment with different outfits through our dress-up activity. You might even want to showcase your creations through a fashion show!
Recommended for children aged 5 – 12 years, but families of all ages welcome.
