The Fairy Without Wings/The Competition Competition (feat. Patti Harrison and Mitra Jouhari)

In “The Fairy Without Wings" by a kid from New York named Franny, two fairies discover why they are unique and end up creating something beautiful in the process: a rainbow! We thought this was a great example of a "Creation Myth," which is an imaginary story about how something in the real world (like a rainbow) first got created.

In "The Unlucky Man” by a kid from Massachusetts named Mia, a really unlucky person finds a map that sends him on a quest to become less unlucky...but it's not so easy. On the way, there is a cave full of bats, snakes that bite him, and birds that peck at his head! We thought this was a perfect example of how obstacles to a character's goal can make a story more exciting. That's why we created the "Obstacle Course" sheet to help kids plan out their own adventures!
Our incredible designer, Camilla Franklin, illustrates one of the stories from each podcast episode. This week, we wanted to provide Creator Club members with a coloring activity based on her illustration for "The Fairy Without Wings” Hopefully, this will provide a fun bonus activity for your creators to enjoy while listening to the episode!
