When Bug and Bear stumble into a dusty attic full of forgotten pages, misfit characters, and meandering plots, they don't just find a story... they find the story about stories. And one grumpy little rat-Bart-who's given up on all of his ideas.

From geese who won't queue to kangaroos in ninja suits, from tattooed moose to news-breaking parrots, this rhyming romp through a rebel archive flips the script on what a "proper" story should be.

But rules were made to be rewritten.

Together, Bug, Bear, and Bart uncover the heart of storytelling: bold beginnings, unexpected turns, and the courage to tell something new. With clever rhymes, wild imagination, and full-blown visual chaos, The Story Shapers is a celebration of voices that refuse to be silenced, characters that won't stay in line, and kids (and rats) who dare to rewrite the rules.
