Matilda's Project

Matilda's Project is a bright, moving, and inspiring book about family diversity, as seen through the eyes of children. Matilda's Project began as a community theatre production in January 2012. It was written, directed, and performed by qualified teachers to educate and empower children. The production, although small scale, received sponsorship, excellent reviews and a reasonable amount of media attention. In the lead up to the production, much interest was generated in the themes and concepts by people outside of Melbourne. The book was written as a response to this so that the message of the play could be more widely distributed.
