Stories matter. They matter a lot. They can make us laugh and cry. They can educate us, persuade us and entertain us. They can bring us together and create shared experiences, like scattered pieces of cloth stitched together to craft a beautiful quilt. 

National Tell a Story Day is observed in Scotland and the UK on 27 October 2016. It celebrates story-telling of all kinds. As a part of this celebration, we are conducting a story writing competition for children to encourage budding writers and storytellers. 

It gives me great pleasure to invite your child to participate in the competition.
