Together with a group of parents, I am working to self-publish this book of stories written and illustrated by our children, aged 2-5 years. All profits of the book sales will be going to Karnataka-based charity, Headstreams, in India who aim to bring about positive change in society by promoting free play, open learning and sustainable livelihoods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been working towards child safety and protection, among other things.
The book is available to pre-order by contacting me and will be available on Amazon in October, 2020.
