Animated Stories

We launched our new animated storytelling series in October 2020 with the spookiest tale ever told by the children on the NGC Children’s Bocas Lit Fest Storytelling Caravan – A Lagahoo in The Lagoon!

In the second video, released for Carnival 2021, Anya discovers blue devils, a bookman, fancy sailors and more but gets lost among the crowd of revellers during her first visit to the Jouvert festivities in T&T. “Lost in Jouvert” is a story written by the children of Port of Spain during the NGC Children’s Bocas Lit Fest Storytelling Caravan.

Look out for more animations coming soon!
