Creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish.

The Cloths of Heaven

Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths 
Of night and light and the half-light;
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

~ W. B. Yeats
Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning — creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish.

Storybook ~ Miss Brooke

Digital Storybook Inspiration

Miss Brooke



Hi, everyone. :o) 

I hope you've all had a fantastic start to 2016. 

Well, I've been keeping myself busy writing book two 'Awake in Purple Dreams'. Hence, my presence online being scarce. While writing, I discovered a character begging for her story to be told. She came from nowhere, I love it when that happens. ;o)
Her name is Brooke, and she's an art teacher with several big secrets. Her tale entwine's itself with a few characters from books one/two. This will be a continuation, complimenting 'Awake in Purple Dreams'. Perhaps a novella, but I feel Brooke's story is going to develop much further than a few pages. We'll see.

As always, I play around with the images in my mind and try to re-create some of that world, ready to share with you all. Enjoy!
