A storm is coming. Sanu is worried about her mother who has gone fishing in the Fewa Lake in Pokhara at the foothills of the Himalayas. What does this little girl, with her dog Bhunte, decide to do? How do they work against all odds to look for her mother?

In this workshop, we will tell stories through images, text, and with our bodies, to enact children's stories of strength even when facing what seem like insurmountable situations.

Age: 8-10 years old

The inspiration for this workshop is a storybook, Sanu and the Big Storm, by Bandana Tulachan.
