AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This heart-warming true story explores the love and connection between parent and child with delightful, innovative storytelling.

'The Smallest Stage transports you back to Manjimup writer Kim Crotty’s experiences in prison and his endeavours to stay connected to his two boys by creating unique short stories and illustrations.

'Along the way, monsters, superheroes and loveable characters come to life, as Kim's short stories are lovingly re-told through a mixture of live drawing, puppetry, animation and even a plate of mushy peas and refried beans. Introspective, funny, and heart-felt, The Smallest Stage will leave you feeling closer to your child and loved ones.'
