Babayan and the Magic Star and the Guide for Teachers and Families are the basis of the Babayan Story Project, an international initiative by Kiku Adatto and Michael Sandel, which encourages children to use storytelling to discover and transform the world.

 

This project has five goals:

​

Connect oral storytelling, writing, and reading

​

Strengthen the bonds between home and school

​

Ignite children's artistic and moral imaginations

​

Engage children in ethical reasoning and civic discourse

​

Share art, ideas, and projects locally and globally
