StoryKids

Edo and Gabs (our favourite sibling storytellers) have written a second chapter to their story: That Strange Night.
Chapter 2 is called 'The Mask' and takes place after the aliens have departed and everything seems normal again. Or is it?
(If you need to get up to speed - their first chapter was Episode 2, Season 1.)
Friend of the podcast (and new Australian Literacy and Numeracy Ambassador) Virginia Gay narrates this next wonderful instalment.
