return to help About Story Train
Global Story Train is an online, illustrated, collaborative story project that was first sponsored in conjunction with the July, 2000 United Nations G8 Summit. Through Story Train, children from all nations work together in writing and illustrating communal stories.

Each completed story train is comprised of three cars, or chapters. One child begins a train by writing the first chapter, and illustrates their chapter with their own picture or a picture selected from our "Picture Sampler". A different child builds the second car, continuing the train with a middle chapter, and illustrates their car with a picture from the sampler. A third child finishes a story train by building the final car, and also illustrates their section with a picture from the sampler.

Story Train is a fun and creative way to work with other children from around the world. All aboard!
