World Book Day - The Importance Of Storytelling
If you’ve known NOTORiOUS KiDS for a while then you might remember the annual competition we used to do on socials for the best dressed on World Book Day every year. We asked for people to send in pics of their children dressed up for world book day with a little info on why they chose that particular character and story. Some awesome prizes were to be won and we still have people telling us how much they miss getting involved in this little tradition we created.
Storytelling is so important to us, its what we do, its at the core of everything we create. That’s why at NOTORiOUS KiDS the importance of storytelling and using diverse and imaginative narratives running through our parties and events are at the heart of what we do.
Children's earliest perceptions of the world around them are shaped not only by experiences they have but by the books we read to them and the stories we tell them. Therefore, it's essential that children see a true reflection of the world around them in the literature they are exposed to from diverse characters and stories. If there is an absence of an inclusive range of characters and role models in our books then this lacks a true representation of our world.
Here are some books we recomend telling wonderful diverse stories:
We recently had the pleasure of being hosted on the chefs table at The Dorchester, the wonderful events team created an afternoon of fun for the NOTORiOUS team where we got to experience an amazing workshop in the pastry kitchen with Michael Kwan Ho Lam as well as a pizza making workshop in the main kitchen. Martyn Nail the Culinary Director at the Dorchester made sure we were beautifully looked after and then hosted us on the chefs table for lunch afterwards. It was such a wonderful experience that we are offering this as a party option for our clients, Do you have any budding chefs or bake off enthusiasts? It’s the perfect party for a small group to step foot in an actual working kitchen and be taught by the best professionals in London.
