Leeds children’s theatre company Tutti Frutti Productions, along with Bradford and Leeds Libraries and in celebration of Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture, brought you a beautifully performed reading of “If All the World Were…” by award-winning children’s writer Joseph Coelho.

This touching picture book celebrates the special bond between a young girl and her grandad, showing how memories and love, live on, even after loss. Through storytelling, and music Tutti Frutti brought the book to life exploring themes of family, remembrance, and the power of love across generations.

This heart-warming performance was followed by a craft activity for the children to enjoy, which made it the perfect experience for primary school children and their families. Featuring an imaginative set design and original music, this event was both moving, fun and memorable. This was one of over 1,000 performances and celebrations planned throughout the year—including artist commissions, major festivals, and exciting national and international collaborations.
