Otters are rad. No argument.
But what's radder than an otter? Surely a baby otter. Smaller, faster, more delightful, and full of otteresque potential. Imagine a fully grown otter eating a clam, and now imagine a baby otter doing the same. Would anyone prefer to experience the former rather than the latter?
(Let's ignore the opinions of the clam.)
What is a baby otter called? A whelp. That's also the name of this anthology.
Inside you'll find just a small portion of the excellent offerings created by young people in Story Factory workshops between 2012 and 2019.
Enjoy.

An anthology of short stories, poems and songs written by children in the Sydney area. I don't want to critique any of the stories as they are literally written by children and I think it's important to encourage creativity and writing.
