Book & Lyrics by Patrick O’Sullivan

Join our storytelling pirates as they take you on an adventure across the open seas. A child finds
themselves alone, bobbing along the ocean in a paper boat searching for a new home. Frightened
and alone they meet some friendly creatures along the way. Mr Penguin and his egg Percy educate
the child on how climate change is affecting their homeland, whilst Miss Swifty Swift teaches the
child that a home is where they Lay their Hat! Disaster strikes when a big storm approaches. Will the
child ever find their home with the help of their new friends?
My Paper Boat is an original musical story for ages 5-7 and explores the themes of:
Migration
Friendship
Bravery
Climate Change
Things are never as they seem
