"These Tiny Tales are masterpieces!"
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month August 2023
In each of the ten word stories Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho plants a wonderful seed of an idea which will spark the imagination of readers of all ages.
Each is like the fizzing start of a story which could take off in a host of directions. These prompts will inspire curiosity about the different scenarios that are hinted at but not completed in these tales.
Illustrated by a ranged of talented artists including Dapo Adeola, Flavia Z. Drago and Shaun Tan, the stories will encourage everyone who reads them to write their own versions of ‘what happens next’. Or, to write their own Ten-Word Tiny Tales!

Invite me in, she says, outside my tenth storey window...
Is it possible to spin a tale using just ten words? It most certainly is! In this unique and magnificent compendium designed to spark the imagination, Joseph Coelho brings us stories of underwater worlds, demon hamsters, bears in outer space, and portals to places unknown ... all in just ten words! Each tale has been paired with one of the finest illustrators working today - and, together, the words and pictures will create a space for creativity as young readers imagine how the story might unravel. They might even be inspired to pen a ten word tiny tale of their own!
Prefaced by a note from Joseph Coelho, and with two creative writing challenges at the back, this is the perfect gift for all those ready to unleash their imaginations.
