As a small child, I grew up living next door to my grandmother who was a voracious and passionate reader. For me, this meant that I had an endless supply of books in my favorite genres at my disposal. I read them greedily. My grandmother knew that books were more than mere words on a page. A well-crafted story has the power to stir the imagination and take us far beyond the boundaries of our own reality. There is no limit to where we may travel or what adventures we may find. Is it any wonder that I fell in love?
It was a natural progression and almost inevitable that I would begin penning my tales. I always thought I would release a young adult novel as my first publication. However, when the moment arrived, I found that my heart told me it was time to pay-it-forward and share the gift of reading with curious, young emergent readers. My grandmother would have approved.
My early chapter book series first began as a short story for my daughter, Danielle, when she was seven years old. She became my sweet and sassy protagonist. Although the character of Dani is purely fictional, the perky smile, mischievous brown eyes, and honey-brown hair mimicked my daughter’s image. She loved the idea of being at the center of the adventure and watching the tale unfold and being larger than life. To distinguish the character from reality, Dani was born with her own personality.
I strongly believe that an early literacy foundation is paramount to a child’s educational success. The key is to present books that a child finds entertaining. When a child tells me they do not like to read, I often say to them:
Books are like ice cream, there is a flavor for everyone.
Children who do not like to read have yet to find their flavor, which is why I feel it is so important that we offer books from different genres until they find something of interest. It is my hope that the Dani P. Mystery series will be one of your child’s flavors.
