Fun and Educational Books for Children, and Many Adults!

I AM AMAZING!

I self-published this book in 2009 and have sold over 12 000 books.  Many school boards have purchased 100 - 400 books at a time, and classroom teachers have ordered class sets. (Education Discounts are Available)

People are too often affected by their negative thoughts and start doubting themselves. The good news is ... we can improve our self-worth by becoming conscious of what we say to ourselves. These educational books are geared towards helping children realize that they can observe and transform their negative thoughts into positive, inspiring and empowering thoughts.  Reading or saying positive thoughts with conscious passion - 3 times a day for 28 days - can rescript the brain.  Self-worth CAN grow and children CAN realize their value in life.  

Many teachers are using class sets in K - Grade 6 classes with great success.

WE ARE AMAZING! 

WE ARE AMAZING! is the sequel to I AM AMAZING!  The first book encourages the reader to engage in positive self-talk; this second book illustrates the connection between all on this planet. We share the same world, and together we can make it better.  The book is empowering to the human species - one species.  It is being used in schools as a teaching resource, and , like I AM AMAZING! many parents are buying it for their primary age children.  Great baby gift too!!

WHEN GRAMMA GIGGLED

This is a book of laughter:  it starts with a giggle, a smile, a grin,  a  snicker, a titter, a chuckle, a chortle, a laugh, a guffaw, a belly-laugh, a howl, a roar ... and it progresses to Kooky Crows cracking up, and Laffy Llama losing it!  And the children's favourite is the unexpected ending!!  Irene Maclennan creates hilarious animal characters to support the laughter.  Don't forget to find Smiley Slug hidden in the illustrations!  Try to read it aloud to children with them not laughing!!!  Have FUN!

Use as a teaching resource for alliteration, imitative harmony, personification, synonyms, word power, and irony.

My Magical Night Mare

I wrote this book because a very special 6 year old was having nightmares, I had read an article decades before suggesting the importance of going back in to a nightmare and changing the ending using your imagination so that you would feel better  during the day - braver, stronger, safer.  I have used it in counselling sessions for children who are being bullied.  They imagine a power animal by their side - and they feel stronger.  Bullies are attracted to weakness.  Feedback from parents is that children don't waken them when they have a nightmare anymore; they just imagine an ending where they are the heroes.  It works!  March Hutchinson has done beautiful illustrations to bring life to the words.

Use as a teaching resource to develop imagination skills, and to empower children to avoid being bullied.
