Most of us were introduced to literature through children’s books, storybooks.  Whether the stories were narratives of fairytales, histories, or heroic epics, they helped to shape our love for narratives and very possibly creative writing.



Storybooks play a significant role in how we understand and share stories with one another in our collective society. This assignment is designed to have you create a digital storybook. Please reread and introduce yourself to traditional storybooks.  Use them as a source of literary inspiration for this digital storybook assignment.
