Mayia's story

Sunshine walks are back! ...https://youtu.be/Iw8FddccIkQ?feature=shared

My friend rhino 🦏feels cold today.
- Here's a nice, fluffy, red scarf for you to wear!
- Where's elephant? 🐘
- The elephant's in the room! He's always there!
********
- But I can't see him.
- Look closely, he wears pink and blue today...you can't miss him!
- Sometimes BIG things look small and small things look big!
- It depends how we look at them, and through whose eyes we are looking...

It is Independent Bookshop Week, a celebration of independent bookshops across the UK and Ireland, which aims to highlight the vital role independent bookshops play in their communities.
I have the pleasure to know Bear Bookshop in Birmingham, a small bookshop with a big community impact where everybody feel included! It's always nice to be able to contribute to the children's excitement by reading them stories and doing theme related craft activities in the lovely space this place offers ❤ Have a look at their page and support if you can.

Mayia has been on a journey to a magical dreamland for quite a while...she was full of so much joy, seeing and doing things she’s never done before…all so mysterious and unique.
She didn’t want to wake up, but she did.
‘Can I go back to my dreamland?’ she wondered.
I whispered these words gently, before reading the story…
‘May you touch fireflies and stars, dance with fairies and talk to the moon…and may your eyes look to the stars and know, that you are held in the arms of the universe, held in love’.
