Fiona and the Extra-Special Invisible Gifts

"Fiona and her Extra-Special Invisible Gifts" is research driven and written with both the child and the reader in mind.The story is narrated by pre-school age Fiona, as she begins to understand that the invisible gifts she received on her first birthday have been working together ever since. Fiona's family takes time every day to point out that her invisible Spirit energy, especially love, brings each of these invisible gifts together to bring out her best abilities. Fiona learns that the more she uses and shares her gifts with others, the more she will get. The outcome is even more special when she learns she has new friends of every culture around the world. For now, they are invisible, but only because they haven't met yet.

The research for this story is based on the (neurological) development of hearing, sight, word comprehension and vocabulary. The story is further enhanced with a subtle Spiritual (non-denominational) component and culturally diverse perspective. All of which come together as a recipe for a successful child, student and global citizen.

The story is designed for new parents, at the begining of the parent-child bond, and continuing into the learning curve as they read just a few, meaningful, minutes a day. It is also the perfect book for the new arrival, Grandparents and other child care providers.
