durham ox book

300 school children from Aycliffe Village and Firth Moor Primary schools have written, illustrated and now published their very own book! With the help of Darlington author and illustrator Liz Million, the budding writers and artists have produced the storyline, artwork and characters to help tell the tale of the Durham Ox and his astonishing ability to travel in time.

Using his life story and their wild imaginations, together they have brainstormed ideas and sketched illustrations to help share the untold story of this remarkable beast.This book can now be left as a gift to future generations so they can Discover Brightwater for themselves.

Billy and the Bull – The Tale of the Durham Ox is the title of our new Children’s book researched, written and beautifully illustrated by local children and Liz Million.The book is now on sale for just £4.50 and will be available to buy in a number of Brightwater venues within the next few months.
