In 2017, BYRON Writers Festival launched its StoryBoard Bus, a traveling creative writing program bringing authors and illustrators into schools across the Northern Rivers region of NSW.
Founder Jesse Blackadder said the bus is “a mobile creative writing hub that includes a pop-up classroom and library full of creative ideas and surprises to ignite the imagination of everyone who sees it”
Justine Wallace created a beautiful mural for the bus, which is loved by kids across regional NSW.
