We are absolutely delighted to announce that our second book, Pre-Teen Lepralites, is out now and available on Amazon and Shopify.

This book has been in the making for the majority of 2024 and has been a real labour of love for the three of us:

From

• Jonathan’s clever use of words and situations to bring us short stories of everyday issues which no doubt Pre-Teens and ages beyond encounter and question daily.

• Angele’s amazing, vivid, bright and wonderful illustrations bring the stories to life and give the compilation a lovely vibrance.

• Deirdre’s final editing, book design and formatting to bring you the engaging product you see today.

We are very proud of this work, and we hope that you and your children will find the stories and the messaging useful for continuing discussions on some of the topics approached within the covers.

The book contains five wonderful stories, which explore children’s ways of thinking as they cross the threshold into their teenage years.

A warm-hearted book to hang on to for years to come.

Let’s Play - A Day full of surprises where dreams can change realities.

Should I Stay or Go – Sometimes, the easy way of life can be paid for by losing oneself.

Clarance - The displaced frog, trying to find new friends while working out why he is so different, and nothing makes sense.

Finding Digger - A cat allowing his childhood scars to warp his present reality, stealing his contentment and his self-worth.

A Greater Understanding – When exploring a child’s truth, which becomes a teenage reality, are we losing the magic along the way?
