Under the Parasol

18 Feb 08 - 07 Mar 08

Hue Boy may be the smallest boy in his village but he is big news.  Pumpkin soup and exercise… just some of the suggestions to make him grow.

Stewart Thomas and Luke Broughton presented Smarties prize winning book Hue Boy by Rita Phillips Mitchell; illustrated by Caroline Binch to children aged 3-7 through an interactive performed reading and accompanying workshop.  In partnership with Education Leeds, Under the Parasol toured 15 Primary Schools in Leeds.   

Be transported to a Caribbean village through this heartwarming storytelling performance.
