About the Author

Pia Jones is an author, workshop facilitator and UKCP integrative arts psychotherapist, who trained at The Institute for Arts in Therapy & Education.

She was Story Director on artgym’s award-winning film documentary, β€˜The Moving Theatre,’ where puppetry brought to life real stories of people’s migrations. Pia also designed the β€˜Sometimes I Feel’ story cards, a Speechmark therapeutic resource to support children with their feelings. www.silverowlartstherapy.com.

Sarah Pimenta is an experienced artist, workshop facilitator and lecturer in creativity.

Sarah has over 20 years’ experience of designing and delivering creative, high-quality art workshops in over 250 schools, diverse communities and public venues, including the British Library, V&A, NESTA, Oval House and many charities. Her work is often described as art with therapeutic intent, and she is skilled in working with adults and children who have access issues and complex needs.

Both Pia and Sarah hope these Therapeutic Fairy Tales can introduce the theme of nature as a resource, alongside art and storytelling, to children and families.
