Writing to Toby

In October, we received a letter from Toby Little, now six years old, from the United Kingdom. Toby is learning about and exploring the world through letters from different countries. He and his family are working on his Writing to the World project. Read more about him here.

Toby asked us three questions: (1) Are the chocolate hills really made of chocolates? (2) Was it scary when Mt. Mayon erupted? (3) What is your school like?

We answered him through pop-up books and games. You can see our work through the following links:
