A Rainbow For Amala Book Launch FREE

Two years ago I was invited to be part of a new project called Green Shoots by a company called The Other Way Works. The creative team of John Sear, developer of collaborative games for public spaces, Katie Day, Fateha Begum (workshop facilitator) and myself worked together to create an interactive story book called A Rainbow for Amala. Copies of the book will be available to purchase on the day (£7.99).

Nafeesa cares about the earth and wishes that everyone else did too. But it’s hard being an environmental activist when even your best friend keeps forgetting about his pledges to walk to school and pick up litter. Join Nafeesa and her best friend Karim as they set out on a quest to befriend the quiet new girl Amala. What will give her back her smile? Use your phone or tablet to listen to their conversations, help them solve puzzles, crack codes and become part of their journey to uncover the truth.

A Rainbow for Amala was created with input from children at Regents Park Community Primary School in Small Heath, Birmingham.
