This workshop is inspired by picture book Fred and the Fantastic Tub-Tub, illustrated by Anja and written by Zeb Soanes (author of the Gaspard the Fox series). You can find out more about Fred and the Fantastic Tub-Tub below:

When Fred’s green-fingered grandfather shows her a map to the mysterious island of Papa Nupi, he leads her on a summer holiday adventure that just might save the planet. From Zeb Soanes, author of the bestselling Gaspard the Fox books.

Fred and the Fantastic Tub-Tub is also an exciting orchestral concert work by James Marangone.
