Willy The wimp
We work in collaboration with the children's writer and illustrator Anthony Browne (former Children's Laureate). The finale is usually a setting of his book 'Willy The Wimp.'
It tells the story of a 'wimpy' chimp who builds himself up to face the world, only to find that he is the same person inside.
