"Metaphrog has announced the release of Time to Shine. The Louis creators have released the graphic novel in association with Creative Scotland as part of a project to encourage youth engagement in the arts, reports FPI.  The book centres around a school boy dealing with day-today life and discovering a talent for playing the trumpet. &amp;quot;We were originally commissioned over a year ago to produce a work of graphic fiction which would inspire young people and encourage involvement in the arts,&amp;quot; said Metaphrog. &amp;quot;The story had to encompass the key themes of the strategy. &amp;quot;The challenge was to create something which would appeal to children of all ages, and we also wanted the story to stand on its own as a good read - something entertaining! &amp;quot;Our task was made easier by the fact that the subject - the arts - is something we have felt passionately about all our lives. We drew inspiration from the many graphic novel workshops and talks we do in schools, and were also advised by young people from Young Scot and Creative Scotland. &amp;quot;It is a story of transformation, in which the arts empower people. We also raised questions such as what is art? and, can you make a living from the arts?&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
