Welcome to this edition of Newsgram

Today we’re going to take a look at a series of children’s books that teaches children about a lot more than just colors, numbers and farm animals. These are socially conscious short stories that sprinkle together a bit of magic, some adventure and community involvement in a real world environment. Let me be more specific. Imagine teaching about things like blindness by taking a trip to ‘The Guide Dogs Association for the Blind’, What a great place to  learn about guide dogs and blindness. 

Kimberley Bachelot – Its really about teaching children to be kind, compassionate, to think of others and also to be conscious of their environment. I mean the modern day theme is the environment, climate change and endangered species so to raise them with that consciousness and teach them ordinary everyday lessons within the book as well. It touches upon issues like death, fostering friendships, teamwork, so it’s quite involved but it’s not boring and it’s not petty it’s short stories and their little things within the book. 

No they’re definitely not boring and while some of those issues seem pretty heavy at first glance it’s amazing how simple it can be to teach about them if you just find the right way to do it. 

Kimberley Bachelot – That’s why I say there’s three elements to it. It’s educational, inspirational and also entertaining. 

Kimberly has found a terrific way to weave together these three elements. 

Kimberley Bachelot – It’s not just a story to read and enjoy but it teaches you something about life and then maybe that will inspire you to delve more deeply into that area because children minds are like sponges and if you can exit that interest they might go on to look into it to do a project on it or maybe even later in life it might become a career for them, who knows.

The series is called “Little Cherub Short Stories” and they are all very different. Book 1: is about adopting a pet. It’s subtitled To be or not to be: Pet is the question.

Kimberley Bachelot – They learn about pets and that’s where Marylou comes up with the idea that she wants some cats and that’s how it all starts they go down to paws and tails and then later on discover that the cats are magical the kittens are magical  and that’s where their adventures start. 

Book two is where the kids visit the The Guide Dogs Association for the Blind’ but it’s also about a great deal more. In fact, she admits this one was a real challenge to write because it’s about fostering a child after an unfortunate accident.

Kimberley Bachelot – Laila lost her parents when she was four and so that was quite difficult to think about how a child would feel and how they would react and also death it can be a bit stigmatized. I can be a bit scary particularly to young children so I had to think all about that aspect and put it in a certain way but i hope I’ve shown that her feelings and the way she worked though it and the help she got eventually came across the Naylors who fostered her shows that out of real pain and hardship you can find solice and happiness again.

This one is about a lot more than death, fostering and adoption. There’s a bake sale, a set of magic pendants )A large diamond and tiger tooth) that have ancient powers — helping them on their mission to protect endangered species. 

Kimberley Bachelot – I’m quite into environmental issues so endangered species and thinking about the planet those are the areas I like best. I also worked for a long time in the voluntary sector and so those areas where they go to the associate for the blind and learn about guide dogs and you know, they think about Bernardo’s that look after children they’re quite important aspects they’re my favorite bits because they do touch upon my former careers. 

The third book in the Little Cherub Short Stories series is Meet Ambie and Joulsie. Book 3: Ambie and Joulsie’s East Easter Parade. 

Kimberley Bachelot – Fundraising continues at the Easter Parade for the Donkey Sanctuary; Michael, Beth and Mary Lou find themselves transported to Peru, along with Glenie, Ambie and Joulsie. The Pendants, the Diamond and Tiger Tooth, help Alveros ‘appear’ and guide them to the ‘Temple of Inti’, the Inca Sun God, where the Neverending Treasures have been hidden during the 15th Century, for the protection of the Incas and environment. During a modern day excavation, the Naylors find the codeword and the Never Ending treasures appear. The magic continues.

So as you can see, very different stories addressing all kinds of issues in Educational and Motivational ways. They Encourage imagination, they are full of magic and adventure, love and endearment and they are anything but boring.
