Indiana and Mister Bones the Skeleton
Everyone knows somebody young or old who cannot read or struggles to read. It is like having only one peddle on your bicycle and seeing cyclists ride past and disappearing in the distance leaving you behind. That journey of discovery of each letter having a sound all of its own is like sitting on the saddle of the bicycle and having two feet on two peddles and moving off in first gear and wobbling to maintain balance. To have the ability to string together the sounds of each letter to make words is like going from first gear into second gear and feeling the wind in your hair. Reading a collection of words and understanding what is written is like going from second gear into third gear and looking ahead as far as the eye can see. To have the knowledge and ability to go from reading to then writing down YOUR OWN words into sentences that can be read and understood is like going from third gear into top gear and having no limits to where you go or what you do.
This book starts anyone young or old unable to read or write on that Journey of Discovery.£13.99 -

A Pause for Thought
At 17 years old, Monica Chapman boldly announced during her teacher training college interview, “I don’t really like children.” Not the most promising start for an aspiring teacher. The stony silence that followed made it all the more surprising when, weeks later, she received an acceptance letter from La Sainte Union in Southampton. Thus began three years of camaraderie and mischief with her partners in crime – Maria, Jane, and Julie – followed by the transition into the real world.
Good fortune led Monica to a long and fulfilling career teaching art in comprehensive schools with diverse and often disadvantaged student populations. Spending 39 years at her second school, she experienced the unique privilege of teaching children whose parents she had once taught. Alongside her work, a lifelong passion for philosophy and world religions instilled in her deep humility, awe, and respect for human resilience.
Eight years into retirement, the COVID-19 pandemic struck. During those uncertain months, Monica kept a journal of her thoughts and reflections on spiritual matters. Now, a distilled version of that journal has been transformed into this book: a collection of inspirational messages and comforting images to return to during both joyful and challenging times.
P.S. Monica not only likes children now – she really loves them and is the proud mother of two of her own.
