What is Co-Stars?
Co-Stars invites young readers aged 3 to 12, and their families, to embark on an interactive journey where their voices become part of the magic. As The Drama Merchant reads the tale, the reader / listener participates by making vocal sound effects transforming them into active co-stars.

-
Inclusive Fun: Children of all backgrounds can participate, making it accessible and engaging for everyone.
-
Spark Curiosity: Introduces concepts through storytelling that captivates and entertains young minds.
-
