Folks, I have a request. Do read on.
First let me begin why and where this request stems from…
Here are the most prominent of the reasons.
Creative endeavors have to be encouraged, don’t you agree?
And when children have matched effort with passion to create meaningful, impactful and engrossing stories across genres, it is all the more important that we acknowledge, recognize, support and encourage them, isn’t it?
The pandemic has generated a new reality for children and grownups alike, with lockdowns, safety, and social distancing norms and online schooling and work from home. A phase that has been and still is underlined by severe limitation of social interactions, creating a void. A social void that has opened up possibilities and opportunities for self-reflection, explorations, and discoveries. I believe the two books mentioned below are the results of such experiences by the young authors and deserve to be shared with the world. Something that I hope can serve as a source of inspiration as well.
The two books…
~ A novel penned by a fourteen-year-old ninth-grader during the lockdown. It is a thrilling adventure fantasy that follows a banished prince, princess, and their guardians through a time-distorted land guided by a mysterious boy on a quest filled with danger, intrigue, magic and humor.
