“As a child, I had so many stories in my
head that I couldn’t say out loud. Every
child has a story, so let’s give them
a safe space to tell it. It’s important
that we take time to listen and truly
understand every word they say to us.”

The question that is most asked is about the name of the main character,
William,
and how it originated.

UNTITLED

until he had the name that would sit at the front of his BOOK. UNTITLED stayed the name of his original story until 26th January, 2016, when one of his students asked him, “WILL LIAM ever stop worrying?” Within seconds of this being asked Within seconds of this being asked this question, the name, this question, the name, WILLIAM flashed before his eyes. Before reading this BOOK, if you FEEL worried about something in your life, please talk to a trusted adult.
