Before we left last year, Rachel challenged me to be the girls’ teacher. I didn’t know how to teach middle schoolers, so I gave them a grad school assignment: pick a topic you care about and write a book. Both girls did it! Anika’s book tells bedtime stories and poems about animals, and Paloma’s tells the stories of many of the children she met around the world.
Paloma gets today’s prize for “really leaning in.” Last year, she learned page layout, typesetting, and how to edit your piece 15 times until it is good. I’m so proud that she just self-published Sharing The Luck on Amazon, and is brave enough to share it with the world.
I love you, Paloma – YOU GO GIRL!
Awaiting delivery!
Received 2 weeks ago and enjoy reading for my weekend coffee break since then. Paloma, the young explorer’s heart to adore the world and life is so warm and sincere. ‘Back to basic’ is my recent motto for work and life, and this is a perfect reading for me to think about one of many ways to respect the world and nature. Thanks Paloma! May I wait for your 2nd book? đŸ™‚
