Author Colin Thiele reads from his book Storm Boy as we see how the film interpreted the world he created. Thiele goes on to talk about the power of words: 'Even now I never cease to be amazed at the way a row of black marks on a piece of paper can do so many wonderful things. They can make us laugh, they can entertain us, they can make us cry.'
