When something is difficult to talk about, it can help to express it in images instead of words. An organization called PostitiveNegatives has taken this to heart. They let professional illustrators draw the stories that people with a troubled background tell them, such as refugees. PositiveNegatives also work with schools via a charity called Why Comics?
We talked about Why Comics? in Newsnuggets and a few reporters got keen on giving the idea of telling a story with images a chance. Below, Cassia has illustrated how seeing people in Africa (on telly) suffer from famine made her stage a cake-sale at school to raise money.
