The Small Creature by Hat-Trick Design for British Heart Foundation
Winner



Hat-Trick Design has created a sensitive and honest identity programme aimed at children who have suffered a bereavement due to heart disease. They worked closely with Katrice Horsley, a professional storyteller who developed a children's story with multi sensory dimensions, to reflect what happens when a child loses someone close to them. The story features a character called 'The Small Creature', who encounters a number of friends who go through a range of emotions including sadness, anger, loneliness and bewilderment. The character is produced as a felt toy in a range of colours to represent these emotions. Children are sent a cloth bag containing a kit of parts which were the inspiration for the design - the toy, the story, a CD version and exercises to help overcome grief. Illustrations are by Rebecca Sutherland.
