In this album, children across London wrote lyrics which were then turned into complete songs by area musicians. Providing the written portion and creative inspiration, students saw their words transformed into an entirely new medium. These songs explore topics like wind, love, exploration, and feeling free and can be enjoyed in this book or listened to on the Ministry of Stories Youtube channel. Give them a listen on your next commute!

From the publisher: “During the project 56 children aged 8-13 explored songwriting and the different stories that lyrics can tell at the Ministry of Stories, with the help of songwriters Rachael Castell and Danilo Walde. Lyrics were sent to artists, who had just a few weeks to make them into songs, helped by video messages from the young writers.”
