The first episode is here! Have a lil listen! 🎧 😊
Welcome to season two of Story Surprise.
This season, we are focused on impactful stories and inclusion!
To get things started, join Anthony & Lauren with guest reader Juan Gomez for ‘My Shadow is Pink’. This story is about daring to be different and being true to who you really are. Scott Stuart wrote this story when he was forced to confront his own thoughts on gender stereotypes when his three-year-old son developed a love for Elsa from Frozen.
In the story, the child has a secret. The child isn’t like the dad. The Dad has a blue shadow. And the child, has a pink shadow.
Juan, our guest has experienced having a shadow of many shades and colours. We are very excited they have joined us to help us share this important story with your family!
Parent’s and Carers, if you’d like to learn a little more about Juan and why Anthony and Lauren felt Juan would be best to represent the themes of breaking gender stereotypes in this episode, check out our interview with Juan in our new video series.
