Imagination, education and Social Justice

If children can be engaged using their imagination; they will love reading. Reading is an essential component of writing, so many aspects of education, justice and life hinge on literacy. I have written a series of children's stories with that specific purpose in mind; to help you engage your child's imagination. I am by no means a perfect writer. Only one adult has ever entered my fairyland and given me any positive or negative feedback on a regular basis. I see my fairy land as evolving and in a way a living document.



A love of reading did not happen for me until quite late in my childhood... I read "Missing since Monday" by Anne M Martin. To be honest I had sniggered at the girls in my class reading "the babysitters club" but once I realised it was the same author, I decided to give them a try... and bang; I was a bookworm. I cannot thank J K  Rowling, C S Lewis, Gordon Korman and Roald Dahl enough for robbing me of sleep and entertaining me so much I could not put the book down til the we hours of the morning.



I want to thank the boarders I bribed with chocolate and my niece and nephew for the hours they put in to help my fairy land to be where it is today. I want to than the future readers and developers (and more imaginative, grammar geniuses and illustrators for making this place what it will become).



Social justice is a very big aspect of my life and I cannot divorce it from my writing. I believe that education erodes injustice and imagination is the gun that fires the bullets engaging emotion and changing the heart of the arrogant and unconcerned who had previously allowed the injustice to prosper.

I will be uploading my stories and would value your feedback. I am searching for a cool enough name for my fairyland warriors and a URL that encapsulates the vision of this blog (while they are $1... during the month of May).
