The Real Boy

This is the story of a man who is willing to do anything to prove himself to the father of the woman he loves. The father sets him the seemingly impossible task of defeating an all-star line up of basketball players in a series of one-on-one grudge matches.

Also included is a Samoan language version of this story; translated by Samuel Tanielu and narrated by the students.

Written and illustrated by Steven Edgar, Arthur Fraser, Keio Vea and Johnny Lolo.

In June 2014, Kiwa in conjunction with the Ministry of Education brought the 48HR SLAM to St Paul's College. Under the guidance of Steven Renata, Munro Te Whata, Behnaz Farzami, Aidee Walker and Luke Nola, four students undertook an intensive two days of Digital Storytelling, culminating in this digital story told through striking artwork and narrated in the students’ own voices.

The Kiwa team then took this amazing work and assembled it in the form of the Experiential Digital Book that is in front of you. Swipe through and immerse yourself in the story, and tap on the pictures to explore hidden elements.

Features include:

• Swipe-to-Read™ the words to hear and playback the story at your own pace. 

• Auto Play to enjoy the narration. 

• Use the My Narration function to read and record the story yourself and customise your book. 

• Touch the pictures to hear different sound effects. 

• See special animation effects bringing the picture to life. 

• Use the Colour Palette to paint each page!
